Bangalore (India), 06/13/2019, Sisters of India.- Making alive the Charism of blessed Marie Poussepin and responding to the needs of the time and the appeal of Archbishop of Bangalore Rt. Rev. Peter Macahdo to the congregations in Bangalore, we have started a foster home for 16 girl children from the street in collaboration with Dream India Network in the old crèche building from June 10, 2019.
Inter Congregational Efforts for development (ICED) called Dream India Network is a platform cratered to support congregations in their efforts to development in whatever way possible.
Fostering is an arrangement whereby a child lives, usually on a temporary basis, with an extended or unrelated family member. Such an arrangement ensures that the birth parents do not lose any of their parental rights or responsibilities. This arrangement shall cater to children who are not legally free for adoption, and whose parents are unable to care for them due to illness, death, desertion by one parent or any other crisis. The aim is to eventually re-unite the child with her own family when the family circumstances improve, and thus prevent institutionalization of children in difficult circumstances especially children.
• Immediate Shelter, Care and Protection especially to girl children.
• Homely environments as these children do not have proper experiential understanding of home.
• Psycho social and emotional support to make them grow as integrated and balanced children as they have gone through tremendous negligence and social stigma.
