Transforming lives, developing leaders, strengthening families & unlocking potential.

The Child Reintegration Centre (CRC) provides real support to nearly 600 vulnerable children and youth in Sierra Leone, regardless of faith or tribal affiliation, by providing for their education, health care, and mentoring, helping to break the cycle of poverty in one of the poorest countries in the world, and helping children to achieve their wonderful, God-given potential.  The CRC is transforming lives, developing leaders, strengthening families, and unlocking potential for a better Sierra Leone.

CHILD REINTEGRATION CENTRE VISION
We are committed to transforming lives through excellent Christian values and tireless efforts as we empower and grow both the present and next generations of Sierra Leone Leaders. We work to protect, nurture and strengthen vulnerable children and their families, thereby transforming our country, developing professionals, and improving the lives of all.

About the Child Reintegration Centre programs

How the Child Reintegration Centre cares for children and youth:

• Tier 3: Supports nearly 500 children and youth by providing school fees, uniforms, books, supplies and test preparation; medical care at Mercy Hospital; family mentoring; and inclusion in CRC events like the annual Christmas party.
• Tier 2: Supports approximately 100 children and youth who require a higher level of support, either because they have been placed in foster care or because their family situation is extremely vulnerable.  
• Tier 1:  Students who complete Secondary School (high school equivalent) may apply for a Promise Scholarship to attend university or vocational/technical programs.  These scholarships are highly competitive and awarded only to top students.​

Most recent initiatives:

• Microfinance Program: Every family wants to become self-sustaining and provide for their children’s needs.  In 2017, the CRC launched the Microfinance Program to teach some of the most vulnerable families how to budget, save, and create a simple business plan.  Microfinance graduates receive a small loan to launch their business. The graduates visit the CRC weekly to report their progress and make payments on their loans, and CRC staff visit the new businesses each month to track their progress.  
• Family Strengthening Program: The Family Strengthening Program provides opportunities for parents and children to participate in workshops, special events, and mentoring to strengthen the attachment of children to their parents or caregivers.
