National Survey of Institutions for Children in Rwanda
Hope and Homes for Children Rwanda, 01 Nov 2012

The strategy recognises that transformation of institutions (sometimes known as orphanages) is an entry point to building sustainable childcare and child protection systems. The first phase, estimated to take 24 months,…

Understanding the Lived Experience of Young Adults Who Grew Up in Residential Care Centres in Tanzania and a Theory of Action to Reorient Care for Vulnerable Children
Kate McAlpine, Raphael Dennis, Janeth Semwene, Belinda Mziray, Citizens 4 Change, World Childhood, Pamoja Leo, Railway Children, Families & Futures Coalition of Tanzania, 01 Oct 2023
This mixed-methods study collects survey data from 253 adults involved with vulnerable children in Tanzania and narrative data from 31 young adults who experienced residential care during their childhood. The research fills a gap in the literature about the lived experiences of children in institutional care and the impacts of this type of care on their lives. The findings reveal a societal consensus on the primary role of the family in child-rearing, and acknowledges the potential harms of residential care. Survey data indicates that 59% of respondents consider preventing family…
