The “Relief” social service

This year, 100 000 women in the world

will become mothers of disabled children.

What does this mean? It means that, 24 hours day, 365 days a year, and THROUGHOUT

LIFE, the disabled child will need constant

assistance.

The “Relief” service is an opportunity to entrust care of the child, for a short time, to a professional host family. During this time, the parents have a chance to rest and deal with urgent matters.

Our staff select and train host families,

monitor placement of children in host families and the

quality of the services provided

We are today helping 70 families bringing up 90 children with special needs. PA R T N E R S H I P
