Fostering and reunification


Program overview:

Given the huge demand for places at Mkombozi's residential centre, and given that residential care cannot effectively meet the special needs of certain children, Mkombozi’s priority is to improve the outflow of children from care.

We are actively investigating alternative, family-based care options for vulnerable children. For instance, we are piloting the recruitment, screening and training of 80 foster carers who will then be able to offer family-based care for children living / working on the streets. This will be done in collaboration with the Municipal Council and Social Welfare Department.

Continued efforts will also be made to reunify 50 street-involved children a year with their families.
