Laughter Africa actively champions the rights of street children in Sierra Leone. Through media outreach, radio shows, and public events, we aim to raise awareness, change public perceptions, and influence policy-makers to create better laws and protections for vulnerable children.
Key aspects of our advocacy include:
Media Engagement
Street children share their voices on radio shows, particularly during events like the International Day of the Street Child, the Day of the African Child, and the International Day of the Girl Child.
Changing Attitudes
By humanising street children, we work to reduce exploitation, violence, and stigma, encouraging society to treat them with dignity and respect.
Policy Influence
We collaborate with government ministries, NGOs, community leaders, and local authorities to improve protections for street children and address the root causes of street migration.
Through these efforts, Laughter Africa seeks long-term change, ensuring street children are not just cared for, but respected, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.
