Through numerous visits to institutions, Adoptionscentrum has gathered unique knowledge about children´s situation when growing up in an institution. We have learnt much about the reasons behind why children are placed in an institution and what happens to them when they leave the institution during their adolescence. It is not a positive picture.
We use this knowledge and experience in our development cooperation work to improve the situation for children deprived of their family environment. We work to increase the number of children without adequate family care or at risk of being abandoned to have their right´s fulfilled.
Thematic areas for our strategic work:
- Preventing family separation
- Promoting family focused alternative care and community care
- Promoting change and transformation of institutional care
- Preparation for independent life after the institution for young care- leavers
