CHILD WELFARE
OBJECTIVE
Facilitate the reintegration of marginalized children into their families and society through emotional, educational and material support.
PROGRAM
Victims of neglect, poverty, trafficking or difficult family situations, street children constitute a vulnerable, out-of-school, often traumatized and marginalized population. The Child Welfare program, which helps children and their families by providing emotional, educational and material support, aims to create the necessary conditions for them to build a better future.
Krousar Thmey has three types of structures adapted to the child’s needs, age and family situation: temporary protection centers, long-term protection centers and family houses. Family reintegration is always favored whenever possible.
