Safe shelter, psychosocial counselling and family reunification for children living at risk.

- Running since
- 2018
A child who has left home for the street, or who is facing violence or neglect, needs somewhere safe tonight. What they need for the rest of their life is a family and a community.
The programme starts with temporary shelter, regular psychosocial counselling and legal support. In parallel, our social workers begin tracing the family and preparing everyone for reunification.
We stay involved for at least two years after a child goes home, and connect the household to livelihood support where money is what put the child at risk in the first place.
