  1. Introduction

Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL) is an international non-governmental organisation committed to stopping child exploitation. Our mission is to protect children by preventing and stopping child exploitation, and by empowering children to make their voices count. Our vision is that children can flourish in a world free of all forms of exploitation.

Our vision and mission are inspired and guided by international human rights instruments and standards, in particular the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Council of Europe’s Lanzarote Convention, the International Labour Organisation Conventions and aligned with achievement of the SDGs, in particular Goals 5, 8 and 16.

Terre des Hommes Netherlands launched its 2023-2030 Listen up! Strategy with the aim of creating systemic change that addresses the root causes of child exploitation. We will achieve this by empowering children and their communities, connecting them with those who have power to enact change, engaging in lobby & advocacy campaigns, working with partners to build resilience of children, families and communities and utilising our knowledge and expertise to co-create sustainable, evidence-based solutions.

On the African continent, TdH NL works in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Madagascar. In these countries, TdH NL develops and implements programs in close collaboration with local partner organisations. In Kenya, TdH NL programmes are implemented in Central, Rift Valley, Coastal, Western and Northern regions of Kenya where we work with communities, government, private sector, civil society organisations and children themselves, at the centre, to address systemic and structural drivers that expose children to exploitation.

The project for evaluation is realised through cooperation with Terre des Hommes Germany, and funding from Volkswagen Employees Foundation (VWEF).

2. Background

Jitegemee Children’s Program is a non-governmental organisation based in Machakos, Kenya, that provides educational and other support services to vulnerable children and youth in the community.

Jitegemee’s vision is**,** “ All destitute children and youth in Machakos , Kenya have access to educational opportunities , and become self-sustaining” while its mission is to provide educational and integrated support services for children and youth living in poverty in Machakos, Kenya. We work to remove the obstacles of poverty that prevent children from attaining their educational goals. Our child-centred holistic programming includes school support, vocational and livelihood training for youth and their caregivers, healthcare and education, and psycho-social support. We are committed to helping our young people gain decent employment, live dignified lives, and contribute to their community.
