Activity – general part:

Children aged 3 to 18 needing constant care and assistance in fullfilling their living needs may find accomodation and protection in our home if they are unable to meet those needs in their own family or if they are unable to meet those needs in any other.way. Exceptionally, the children may remain in the home even after they are 18 with consent of the competent centre for social work (with an intention to complete their secondary education or to finish their studies by the time they are 25).

The children's home is an institution in the field of social welfare, of a stationary type, which combines pedagogically-educational, health-care - medical and socially-protective functions.

Work in the Home

Work in the Home takes place 365 days a year for 24 hours in three shifts. The children are separated in three groups: (group names are: Kairo 1, Kairo 2, Kairo 3), in accordance with their age and other predispositions. The children have been accomodated in bungalows furnished for such a type of accomodation. The bungalows are joined with each other. Groups of children are under permanent supervision of the trainers and they consist of pre-school and school age children. The work of the trainers in these groups has been conceived on the simulation of a real family, namely, a male-female couple of trainers which takes night-and-day care of the children. Presently in the home we look after 31 child of various ages, ranging from 6 to 18.
