Since the inception of GAOS, we have been extending our helping hand in terms of identifying the needy people and vulnerable children in rural areas. The problem we see happening in the communities we serve is not different from the challenges children in rural areas face. Hence, we saw it fit to provide care and support to children in rural areas. In many cases, GAOS has been exposed and confronted by traumatic incidences that orphaned and other children in the target communities have had to live with in silence as a result of either threats from immediate parents, guardians or neighbours or circumstances triggered by the immediate living conditions of which many such cases have forced GAOS to involve the police or traditional courts known as Kgotla’s to help secure a safety net for the affected children. Such incidences as physical and verbal abuse, rape, manipulation through engaging children hard labour or risk errand sand destructive behaviour of alcohol and drugs selling, prostitution, stealing and sometimes situations where children are aimlessly left alone to play in visibly dangerous environments with broken beer bottles, used condoms, ranging or abandoned structures and equipments etc.
