Services for Children Separated from Parental Care
We focus on children living without parental care to reintegrate them back into the community in safe and stable homes, and strengthen their families so that the risk of future child separation is eliminated.
Interim care, family tracing, assessment
Services for Child Protection
We evaluate the issues that separated a child from their family in the first place, and ensure that placements will not only be permanent, but also safe and nurturing. We trace all members of the family to find suitable placements, and work with the Sierra Leonean Governmental Agencies for Child Protection to satisfy legal requirements, including paperwork to establish identity and relationships, and ensure that the authority of caregivers is recognized in law, and the placement satisfies all standards of care for the child’s wellbeing.
Services for Equipping Families to Care Well for Children
We equip and empower families to care well for their children, cherish cultural and community bonds and establish networks of resiliency and support, to ensure permanency and stability of child placement.
