We helped 90 young people this summer to build their resilience and learn life and work skills, as part of the STEP Program. Then in two adventure camps, 50 of these teenagers went kayaking, had art therapy and even helped with environment action. The two adventure camps were made possible by BILD hilft e.V. ‘Ein Herz für Kinder’. The new confidence and ideas continued when the teenagers went on to organise events in their own communities!
Strong foster families make a world of difference for children who need care. We are rolling out a training programme to support foster parents so they can give children the Secure Base they need.
Igor tells his story of going from institutional care to a foster family, and how Care in Action has helped him on his journey to education and independence.
Foster families were strengthened at our Family Camps with fun, training, and support from like-minded people. 130 foster parents and children joined our camp this year and you can see how much they loved it!
This annual festival for children in care is a celebration of talent, culture and the chance to discover something new. We also connect with foster parents and the media to raise the chances of including these children in school.
The world leading Secure Base model of care for children was taught by research professor Dr. Mary Beek from the University of East Anglia at our two day workshop.
Care in Action regularly facilitates job orientation programmes, where we provide teenagers in care with insight and skills necessary for a successful start in the world of work.
