EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO GROW UP IN A FAMILY As the Child Reintegration Centre reunites orphaned and abandoned children with families, they are helping the families become stable and self-sufficient by providing them with mentoring, skills training, and case management, in addition to the support for education and health care extended to all children and youth in the program. Extremely vulnerable and foster families receive material support to help them provide for their children.
In Sierra Leone, families on the low end of the economic spectrum generally provide for themselves through some combination of subsistence farming and street selling, often living on the edge of survival. To help these families flourish, the CRC give parents the opportunity to enroll in a microfinance program to learn small business and money management skills, how to create a budget and save money, and how to do simple banking transactions. Graduates receive a small loan to start or expand a small business. Acquiring these skills can truly help a family break out of the cycle of dysfunction and illiteracy that mires families in extreme poverty.
You can help a vulnerable family become stable and self-sufficient through sponsorship.
