Project Description
Reception, family and social integration enhancement program for minors in Haiti
The project aims at improving the reception capacity and family reintegration of 8 centers involved in the project, acting on multiple levels.
At local level with centers’ operators training, leading them through an awareness process on the rights of minors, with particular attention to children with disabilities and in conflict with the law.
Family reinsertion is designed in particular for those children who are about to turn 18, when according to the law they must leave the institution. For these young people there are plans for professional integration.
We will work closely with the authorities responsible for the protection of minors and shelters such as IBESR and Child Protection Brigades to bring about a factual change in accompanying minors hosted in the centers.
