Program information
This program provides support to vulnerable families (with at least one pre-school age child) through carefully selected volunteers, trained and supervised by a professional.
Volunteers, usually parents themselves, visit the family for six months, once a week for two to three hours. Family visits last as long as the family needs them.
Through the Home Start Program, we prevent the occurrence of problems that can affect the harmonious development of children in their own family by strengthening the family’s ability to know the child’s developmental needs and respond adequately to these needs.

TESTIMONIES
Testimonies

I met a wonderful family with 2 lovely children. I was pleasantly surprised by meeting them. I was excited and so were they. They are 2 wonderful children, very active and playful. Metting them was like revisiting my childhood. I am always looking forward to seeing them, although I am very emotional every time.

Home-Start experience taught me that as long as children have shelter, food, love, and support, they don’t think any less of themselves. The problem starts when society pushes them outside.
There is no such thing as a problem without solutions, and we can constantly support children to believe in themselves despite any discouragement they feel or will feel. This experience taught me the importance of being happy and content with who you are and what you have.

We are glad when volunteers come to our home. The children are happy and we are pleased to see them happy.

The family I visit is united and doesn’t let problems discourage them. The mother is a very nice person, and there are many things we can learn from one another. I think our families are very much alike. Looking at her is like seeing myself.
