Our valued partner has over 15 years’ experience of facilitating students and volunteers all over Mauritius. In Mauritius, there is insufficient support for children and families stricken by poverty, violence and abuse. In response to this urgent call, the program, currently, caters for over 500 children aged between 3 months to 18 years old through residential and a large section of social work services. Hereby, they respond to physical, psychosocial, educational and biological needs.
Our valued partner has over 15 years’ experience of facilitating students and volunteers all over Mauritius. Since the 1970’s, this program has been committed to provide relief to deprived communities. In the recent decade, the focus of its action has been shifted to children in great distress and is now known as one of Mauritius’ leading NGO’s in the field of childcare. In Mauritius, there is insufficient support for children and families stricken by poverty, violence and abuse. In response to this urgent call, the program, currently, caters for over 500 children aged between 3 months to 18 years old through residential and a large section of social work services.
The children come from dysfunctional systems and have gone through much hardship with consequences on their overall growth and development. Separated from their biological families and placed under foster care by government services, children enrolled at this program carry a history of gross neglect and abuse, which can trigger complex emotional and behavioural issues. For this reason, the program digs into unequalled experience in early childhood support to provide services that respond to physical, psychosocial, educational and biological needs.
