- Abstract
- This study aims to develop a sustainable model for rehabilitation of children living in the streets in Harare Central Business District, Zimbabwe. The research explores the socio-economic and structural factors contributing to the persistence of street children, assesses the effectiveness of existing rehabilitation programs, and identifies community-driven strategies for sustainable reintegration. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. The findings highlight the need for a comprehensive, community-driven model that addresses the root causes of streetism, provides holistic support services, and promotes family reunification and socio-economic empowerment. The study's proposed model incorporates key elements such as community engagement, psychosocial support, vocational training, and economic empowerment, with a focus on sustainability and long-term impact. The research contributes to the existing literature on street children and rehabilitation, providing insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders working to address the challenges faced by street children in Zimbabwe and similar contexts.
