Foster Care for Orphan Children
Introduction:
Every child should live in a supportive, protective and caring environment that promotes his/her full potential. Children with inadequate or no parental care are at special risk of being denied such a nurturing environment. Children who cannot live with their parents should still grow up in a loving home and enjoy all their rights.
To address these issues, YCDA has initiated Foster Care programme with the key focus on care and protection through community based rehabilitation and family focused alternative care to ensure the best interest of the child. YCDA promotes alternative care arrangements with the promotion of safety nets and well being of the child and family.
To ensure all-round developments of the children some programmes have been intervened during the period.
