Council said rather than dishing out cash and food items to street kids, members of the public should channel money and foodstuffs to rehabilitation centres and children\u2019s homes. The statement read:<\/p>\n

Council urges residents to support efforts to rehabilitate street children. Often residents continue to give foodstuffs to children on the streets. This entices the children to the streets.<\/p>\n

Residents can support these centres and help our children off the streets. Let\u2019s not support a culture of street begging.<\/p>\n

Rehabilitation centres empower the children with life skills and prepare them for a better future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
