Family-Based Care Model
Donation protected
Moving towards family-based alternative care and family strengthening is necessary to protect vulnerable children from harm. And there is a great enthusiasm to get this done. However, it is a very complex process and if it is not handled well, children may still come to harm. This is why it is so important to be able to distribute this information. And you can play a role in making sure children end up in families, in a way that keeps them safe, by contributing. The faster I have the required funds, the sooner will I be able to make this information available. I am really hoping to be able to do it before the end of the year.
In the photo you get a glimpse of the Theory of Change style model that I developed to give a concrete overview of what is involved in fully implementing the UN Guidelines on Alternative Care for Children, a process that in many places includes moving from institutional to family-based alternative care. I developed this model, with accompanying explanation, to help people who want to make the transition to family-based care and family strengthening, but who may not have a clear idea of just what is involved in undertaking this project. The model was made in such a way that it can be scaled up or down to fit either a transition at a national level, a grassroots transition of a single childcare institution, or anything in between.
While the work I have done to develop this model was done for free, to get the model and explanation out and made available to those who need it will require money. And because in these times of Coronavirus and isolation, it is hard to come by paid consultancy work, I currently do not have the money to make this happen. This is why I am asking for your contribution, to allow me to pay for the editing, the layout and design, and the printing of the brochures or booklets. Having these costs taken care of will allow me to distribute both physical copies and digital copies to people who express an interest.
Should the money raised exceed the final costs of getting the Family-Based Care Model out among the public, any remaining funds will be used to cover the costs of bringing out the books I am currently writing, also with the goal to make sure vulnerable children are protected as much as possible. You can find out more about the work I do at www.familybasedsolutions.org
Thank you very much for your help!
