Kinship care
In the India's capital Delhi 100 vulnerable children receive a monthly allowance for care and education. Besides, families of 150 children receive support and guidance regarding the upbringing of their children. Five children are able to finish their professional education with this financial support. Without support, all these children run a great risk to end up in one of the many children’s homes in Delhi. More than 60 years of research has shown that growing up in a children’s home has a negative effect on the health, development and future chances of a child. Children develop much better while living in a family.
Lobby
Partner organisation Church of North India - Shishu Sangopan Griha (CNI-SSG) also invests in the lobby with the local government and social agencies to gain long-term financial support for these children and also to enhance the principle of kinship care. This is relatively new in India.
