Project Duration: 01.02.2024-01.02.2026

Number of Beneficiaries: Up to 10 children and their families

Location: Vanadzor, Lori Region

 

Goal: In Lori Region, the right to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment is upheld for up to ten children without parental care receiving full time care in Sabine SGH and the risks of child-family separation are mitigated in families in difficult situations.

Description: The Project suggests a family-type Small Group Home model as alternative to large orphanages and as an interim solution during the transitional period for children who do not currently have the opportunity to live with a biological or other family. Full-time care of these children is ensured in SGH in stable caring, safe conditions as close as possible to the family environment. Social-psychological consultations are carried out with families in difficult situations to reduce the risks of separation of children from their families and to prevent their entry into care institutions. Within the framework of the project, up to 10 children in difficult situations in Lori Region will live in a safe, stable and caring family environment at the “Sabine” Small Group Home for as long as it is in the best interest of the child.
