{{Fifty families in Kigarama sector are receiving support from an International Charity organization called Hope and Homes for Children (HHC). }} <\/p>\n
The organization has been working in Rwanda, in collaboration with the National Commission for Children(NCC), working to ensure that all children living in orphanages have a right to live under family based care, the programme known as deinstitutionalisation. <\/p>\n
The support aims at increasing family resilience by keeping children and families together thus preventing children from going to institutions or to the streets. <\/p>\n
\u201cAt HHC we believe that every child should have a chance to grow up in a loving family, which is why we are doing our best to avoid family break down that lead to child abandonment\u201d said Innocent Habimfura.<\/p>\n
Habimana is the Head of Programme Management in charge of Community and alternative services at HHC. <\/p>\n
He added that this process involves a range of interventions that prevent children from abandonment and separation from their families. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe give support to families to improve their resilience to care for the children and prevent them from abandonment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Families that benefited from the support include former sex workers, house workers and other vulnerable people.<\/p>\n
Marie Grace Uwimana, a mother of 5 children resident at Karugira cell, Kigarama Sector in Kicukiro District joyfully said \u201cHope and Homes for Children workers paid a visit to our home and, have provided us with help in form of training, food and other items to prevent our children from running away from home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vedaste Uwimana, in charge of Social, economic and development in Karugira cell, a family of 3 people gets 15 kg of rice, maize floor, beans, sosoma and 5 litres of cooking oil. Such family also receives a sum of Frw7000 to use on charcoal for cooking and Frw 5000 to buy vegetables for good nutrition of children. <\/p>\n
