Our Programs

Child Care Institute (CCI)

Child care institutions are residential facilities that give care, support, and a nurturing atmosphere to children who are unable to live with their original families due to a variety of circumstances. These institutes provide temporary or long-term homes for children who have been neglected, abused, or orphaned. These institutions seek to assure the physical, emotional, and educational well-being of the children in their care. Child care institutes frequently employ qualified staff members who provide supervision, education, health, protection, and emotional support in order to foster a stable and happy atmosphere. While these institutes serve an important role in protecting and nurturing children, there is a rising acknowledgment of the value of community-based care and efforts to keep children linked with their families whenever possible.

Family Based Care (FBC)

Community-based care for children is a comprehensive and family-centred strategy that focuses children's well-being in their local communities. This model focuses on keeping children with their family whenever possible and providing a variety of support services directly in the community. It emphasizes prevention, early intervention, and inclusivity, understanding the need of treating a child's physical, emotional, educational, and social needs in a holistic manner. Community-based care entails forming a supportive network through collaboration among multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, schools, and residents. The purpose is to empower families, promote cultural awareness, and make sure that services are adaptable and personalized. This method tries to establish a loving environment that promotes the child rights through lobbying and active community involvement.

Future (AfterCare)

The future and aftercare for children include a critical continuum of assistance that goes beyond immediate treatments. It entails proactive preparation and continuous help to promote a successful transition of children from various forms of care, such as foster care, adoption, or residential facilities, into adulthood. The goal is to provide them with the essential skills, resources, and emotional resilience to successfully navigate independent living. This includes educational and vocational assistance, mental health care, and mentoring initiatives. The goal is to empower these persons to have fulfilling lives, eliminate patterns of disadvantage, and positively contribute to their communities by creating a supportive environment that lasts beyond their post-care years. Collaboration among government agencies, non-profit groups, and community initiatives is critical to creating comprehensive and sustainable aftercare programs that address the unique needs of each child as they transition into adulthood.

Community Support (Learning Centres)

Learning centres for kids play a crucial role in fostering holistic development by providing interactive and engaging educational environments. These canters are designed to cater to the diverse learning styles and interests of children, offering a range of activities that promote cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. Incorporating hands-on experiences, educational games, and collaborative projects, learning canters aim to make the learning process enjoyable and meaningful. These spaces often focus on developing essential skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and problem-solving. Community centres, or specialized facilities, learning canters contribute significantly to shaping well-rounded individuals by nurturing a love for learning and curiosity in young minds.
