The program to reunite children living in care homes with families is now ready for national rollout following successful preliminary trials in 13 of the 47 counties.
The Chair of the National Council for Children’s Services (NCCS), Sophia Abdi Noor, inaugurated the national rollout during a function in Embu and emphasized that the program’s success will depend on the cooperation of all stakeholders.
She noted that the initiative to reintegrate children into society stemmed from many years of research showing that children thrive better in a family setup, highlighting the importance of finding families for all children to grow up in.
