FOSTER HOMES
Bitou Family Care is giving a home to those kids who experienced major family crises and conflicts, neglection, physical, emotional or sexual abuse or other traumatic happenings that are making it impossible for the children to stay in their former homes. Bitou Family Care is providing them a home with a family like condition where they experience love, acceptance and security. Bitou
Family Care wants to create an atmosphere where the children will be able to identify their personal conflicts and individual challenges and make use of the offered guidance. Within the framework of primary care the children find emotional affection, experience help and support in all the daily issues of life. The children are individually raised and get helpful suggestions and perspectives for a successful and a self dependent life. The defined goal is to recover emotional stability, to improve social and life skills, to overcome the traumatic past, to grow in self-confidence and develop a strong personality and see life out of a perspective of hope. In each home one foster mother looks for six children in her care. With support of their carer the children are involved in accomplishing daily issues (Kitchen work, cleaning of the rooms and compound, car wash, garden work), through what the children learn self-dependence and it supports building up a sense of community. Bitou Family Care is running two foster homes and is providing permanent accommodation for altogether 12 children in the age of one to 18 years. AFTER CARE
With the after-care programme our aim is to get the little ones off the streets, provide them with a balanced meal, help them with their homework and facilitate them in engaging in creative and sports activities. Basically to assist their cognitive, social and emotional development. FURTHER PROJECTS
