The Child Reintegration CentreBo • Sierra LeoneThe Child Reintegration Centre (CRC) annually provides assistance to 600 vulnerable children and youth by providing famly strengthening programs and underwriting the education, health care, services and supports needed to break the cycle of poverty in one of the poorest countries in the world so that children may achieve their God-given potential. You can join as a partner in this effort to support a family like the Stevens family. Why FEA? At HCW we are changing the way we support families and children in CRC programs to reect CRC’s new holistic approach. Severely impoverished parents struggle to keep their family together and to provide for their children’s survival. Food, housing, healthcare and education are often beyond their means to provide. God calls on us to help where we can.The CRC helps families develop skills to provide care for their children and become independent. Through contributions from in-country partnerships, and allies from across the globe, including church organizations, individuals and community groups, as families grow, CRC is able to provide case management services and supports to ensure children attend school, receive health care, participate in community activities, attend worship, and develop leadership skills. Like CRC, we want to focus on family empowerment and lead parents to care for their own, rather than fostering lifelong soul-crushing dependencies. Family Advocates can engage with the work to gain a clearer picture of how the CRC works to build the capacity of families to make them stronger, more self-reliant, and capable. Communications from the eld demonstrate how families are progressing toward independence and will inform advocates on impact of their generousity.
