Residential Care

Residential care refers to any group living arrangement where children are looked after by paid staff in a specially designated facility. It covers a wide variety of settings ranging from emergency shelters and small group homes, to larger-scale institutions such as orphanages or children’s homes. As a general rule, residential care should only be provided on a temporary basis, for example while efforts are made to promote family reintegration or to identify family based care options for children. In some cases however, certain forms of residential care can operate as a longer-term care solution for children.

Millions of children in developing countries are unable to live at home for a variety of reasons. The fate of these children is a concern for many people.

Miljoenen kinderen in ontwikkelingslanden kunnen tijdelijk of langdurig niet thuis wonen. Soms omdat hun ouders zijn overleden of omdat de problemen thuis te groot zijn. Soms omdat ze zijn weggelopen of van hun familie gescheiden door oorlogen, rampen of kinderhandelaren. Het lot van deze kwetsbare kinderen gaat veel mensen aan het hart. Ze starten een project, doen vrijwilligerswerk met kinderen of ondersteunen een weeshuis.

Voor hen is Kinderen zonder ‘thuis’ bedoeld.
