In our Community Outreach Program, we extend our activities
to the villages and homes: We provide home based care for children who live
with their families and train parents on the rights of these children and
their needs. During those training we create an opportunity to share their
experiences among themselves and encourage them to work together as a group
in seeking support and in helping each other.
Together with the parents we try to work out strategies of dealing with the circumstances that affect them and their family.
Counseling is offered to the individual child or youth, to the parents, the guardians and schools according to the particular case.
War affected children benefit of skill training, psychosocial support and Village Saving Loan Association (VSLA).
