Police Awareness on Child support & Protection, Criminal cases and Road safety

15th May 2026 — Officers from the Manase Police Unit visited Samaritan Trust to lead an important awareness session for our children on child protection, criminal issues, and road safety. Officers present were: Detective Inspector Nsanama, Inspector Emmanuel Seyama, Inspector Namathamaanga, Sergeant Charity Beza, and SubInspector Jacob Kamenya.

Detective Inspector Nsanama and Inspector Emmanuel Seyama spoke about theft, stressing that stealing is a serious crime with a possible seven-year sentence. Children were urged to respect other people’s property, report any missing items they find, and avoid keeping things that could be linked to criminal cases.

On child support and protection, officers emphasized protecting children from all forms of abuse, preventing bullying of younger children, and giving them the support they need to reach their potential.

Inspector Namathamaanga covered road safety, teaching how to cross the road safely by looking right, left, then right again before crossing, warning against travelling in open lorries, and reminding everyone not to remove road signs because they prevent accidents.

Sergeant Charity Beza highlighted victim support services for children who are depressed, encouraged girls to work hard and avoid early marriage, and noted that vocational training for youth helps reduce crime by giving young people productive opportunities.

After the session,children were asked on what they have learnt;

Obedi one of the TST beneficiary replied “ndaphunzira kuti kuba sikwabwino” (I have learnt that stealing is bad)

Another student Ida commented “we have learnt that it is not good to rush into marriages instead I should focus on my studies, get trained & secure a job first”.

We thank the Manase Police Unit for this valuable session. Continued awareness like this will help our youth at TST grow into responsible, safe, and supported members of their communities.

2026 INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR STREET CHILDREN

Today as Samaritan Trust we honour the courage and resilience of street-connected young people in Malawi and across the World under the theme "PROTECT, NOT PUNISH".
Children in street situations face discrimination, criminalisation and violence yet are often denied justice. Every child has a fundamental right to protection and access to justice, especially those most excluded and at risk. Justice begins with listening to children and make sure systems respond to their realities, not punish them for survival.

Join us in standing with street-connected children, let’s make sure they are seen, heard, and protected, not punished.

Support efforts that amplify their voices, secure fair treatment, and ensure access to justice and essential services.

"Remedial Classes for Primary and Secondary Students"

Every child can succeed — sometimes they just need the right support. At Samaritan Trust we provide remedial classes to our primary and secondary students in order to rebuild confidence by strengthening fundamentals, filling learning gaps, and turning frustration into achievement.

We focus on English, Mathematics, subjects they fail to understand clearly, exam skills and personalized learning plans which are provided by our patient social workers.
