Our vision is to establish a Therapeutic Transitional Home for children living in the streets of Malawi, with reintegration with families being the main goal, if safe to do so. Every child deserves a safe, loving, emotionally connected home where their Human Rights are guaranteed. Our mission is to rescue children living on the streets of Malawi, providing them with a loving home and all their childhood necessities. Through Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), a therapeutic parenting model, children will heal from their trauma and abuse while regaining their childhoods. Reintegration is our main goal if it is safe for the child; this will be done by supporting and empowering families to care for their children. If reintegration is not possible, the children will remain in the home until they are young adults to complete their education, heal their trauma, and become upstanding citizens of Malawi.
