The Kidz Bounce Project at Lend a Hand Bahamas is a life-changing initiative designed to support and protect at-risk youth. These vulnerable children, often targeted by gangs, prostitution rings, and drug networks, face severe challenges that hinder their ability to thrive. Our safe, after-school educational center is where they receive academic enrichment while gaining essential life skills and receiving holistic support. Help us strengthen these young people's sense of identity.
The Project addresses critical issues faced by at-risk youth. These children, often from marginalized communities, are vulnerable to gang recruitment, prostitution, exploitation, abuse, neglect, and drug addiction. Without safe spaces and sufficient support systems, they are trapped in harmful cycles, leading to increased crime rates, perpetuation of poverty, mental and physical health issues, and family breakdowns. Many are targeted by gangs or simply do not see pathways towards a career.
We offer a secure environment that protects youth from immediate dangers like gangs, prostitution, and drug abuse, while providing essential life skills training and vocational education to enhance their future prospects. Comprehensive counseling services for both the youths and their families address trauma, mental health issues, and dysfunctional relationships, fostering emotional healing and stronger family support.
Long-term impact can be achieved by transforming the lives of at-risk youth and their communities. Comprehensive counseling for both youth and families promote emotional resilience and healthier relationships. As these youth gain confidence and skills, they contribute positively to their communities, fostering reduced crime rates and stronger social cohesion. Ultimately, the project drives broader societal change.
