How We Work With The Children

The entire effort is to build up each child both mentally and physically and for them to benefit from reintegrating with normal society.

Food A healthy diet quickly makes a huge difference to energy levels, general condition, behaviour, and physical growth. They literally blossom.

Health Thorough medical care is given when needed, with skin conditions, stomach problems and sexually transmitted diseases being the main issues.

Safety A safe home environment is mentally vital, allowing children to lower their guard and learn to trust again.

Self esteem and confidence A family atmosphere is fostered and genuine love for the children with ;belonging' a core principle. Dance, drama and sports help children to feel good and develop.

Behaviour It's a big issue and why so few will help them. One to one counselling, structured discipline and activities help prepare children for the next step of returning to school.

Education After in house preparation with our own teachers, all children return to full time school or sometimes to vocational courses. We ensure their continued education.

Faith Established by Christians, the benefits of a faith are recognised and the children are encouraged to re-engage with their original faith (about 50/50 Muslim and Christian). All the children enjoy celebrating both sets of feast days and holidays!

Reunification The vast majority are reunited with their natural families after one year. For the few where tracing fails we find suitable and loving foster care, and we monitor all Reunifications.
