The Tigers Club Project , RETRAK's flagship project, seeks to enable homeless children to realise their potential and discover their worth. Sensitive and attentive to the God-given individuality of each child, the project offers abandoned, abused and alone children immediate support and sustainable, long-term, culturally relevant alternatives to street life.
 By building trust and a deep understanding of each boy’s specific circumstances and character, The Tigers Club Project is able to facilitate a process in which children equip themselves with the social, educational and practical tools they need for reintegrating into their families, communities and society, for breaking away from the past and taking their future into their own hands.
Picturing this kind of life may take all our imagination, but for 2,000
homeless children in Uganda between 4 and 18 years of age, life on the
streets of Kampala, the struggle for food and the threat of abuse and
violence have become a daily reality.
What if your home was a rubbish skip, a small area of concrete behind Kampala’s market stalls or a patch of green behind the city’s Golf Course, and all your belongings fitted into one small shoebox...? Picturing this kind of life may take all our imagination,  but for 2,000 homeless children in Uganda between 4 and 18 years of age, life on the streets of Kampala, the struggle for food and the threat of abuse and violence have become a daily reality.
