Saving Arms International is an organization that was set up by a group of individuals who observed the vulnerability that the needy children are facing in their impoverished communities around the country.
Many of these children end up on streets due to various reasons such as; domestic violence, abandonment by their parents, or guardians due to poverty, death of their parents or guardians..

Since these children are being faced with many forms of discrimination from society and are branded as public menace, the chances are increasingly high for them to engage in high risky behaviors, such as; drug and substance abuse, drug trafficking, alcohol abuse, sexual-related activities which may lead into rape and early child pregnancies, pick pocketing and petty robberies, child labor and child prostitution, since it seems to them as the ways through which they can survive.

On this issue the unprivileged needy children are party of our society and Saving Arms International we believe it is moral responsibility to love them back, love and care for them and also restore hope in their future.
The vulnerability of the needy children is on the increase despite of the government’s intervention to solve the problem through programs which campaign against domestic violence, child abuse and also driving the street children off the streets.

At Saving Arms International we wish to partner with individuals and organizations who can support us as we develop and implement programs through which these children’s will get transformed and develop their life skills which they can use to participate in society as resourceful citizens.
