Temporary care for children in environments outside of their immediate or extended family.
Our Alternative Care program promotes access to quality alternative care and protection to children without parental care.
These children are separated from their families and communities of origin due to: child abuse and neglect; gender based violence; harmful cultural practices; conflicts; and poverty.
Our program interventions include: the SOS family like care (FLC) model which is implemented in all our Children’s Villages in Kenya. Under FLC children are provided with quality shelter, alternative parental care, education, health, life skills and other essentials of life. We also facilitate the placement of children in need of alternative care to other alternative care options including kinship care, foster care, adoption, Kafaalah, guardianship and supervised independent living.
Currently we are partnering with the State Department of Children Services to implement the National Care Reforms Strategy (2022-2032) and the Children’s Act (2022). In this regard, we are gradually and responsibly transitioning children from our Family Like Care model to their families of origin and other family and community based care options. We are simultaneously transforming our Children’s Villages into community programs providing access to integrated services to children and youth in our target group.
