Due to the war and related difficulties, more and more children need temporary protection and support. Foster care allows children to remain in their familiar environment and receive care and attention, while giving adults the opportunity to find stable employment and make a significant contribution to the development of society.
What is foster care?
Foster care is the temporary care, upbringing, and rehabilitation of a child who finds themselves in difficult life circumstances, in the family of a specially trained foster parent. This form of support allows the child to avoid being placed in an institutional setting, providing them with a safe and caring environment.
Who can become a foster parent?
An adult who meets the following criteria can become a foster parent:
⦁ has positive experience in raising children;
⦁ has no criminal record;
⦁ is in good health;
⦁ is willing to undergo special training;
⦁ wants to help children and work in this field.
Foster parents receive official employment and financial compensation, which consists of wages and social benefits for the maintenance of the child.
