About the Green Bamboo Shelter

Green Bamboo helps children who have been living on the streets to learn the skills they need to become independent.  It provides access to education and short-term shelter.  The shelter always tries to place the children back with their families; however if this is not an option, long-term accommodation is available.  Younger children receive food and beds in exchange for attending school, and older children can stay for up to two years while they undergo vocational training. There are currently 20 children from a variety of backgrounds living in the shelter.  The shelter also helps over 25 children in the wider community annually, assisting them in any way they can. 

Currently, ILACN sponsors forty other children in the community with school fees and other support as needed.
