Reunited with Family
We trase the home
Together with Social Welfare Officers, we trace families and assess the possibility of reunification. Based on our findings, we provide support to strengthen family relationships and create a safe, nurturing environment for the child to thrive.
When the home is toxic
If a child's home is unsafe, they stay with us until they can become independent, their home situation improves, or we find a better opportunity for them to grow and thrive.
Mentorship
Every participant is mentored by someone who has successfully completed the training. These mentors provide personalized guidance and share their experiences with new participants. Every mentor also serves as an ambassador of AKHIN.
We are community
