Rehabilitation 

This quarter, we supported and cared for a total of 76 children at the Ewafe home. The children all received a range of essential services aimed at addressing their wellbeing, growth, and development: food, medical care, psychosocial support, education and play.

Family Tracing

This quarter, 8 family tracings were conducted. 3 of these were very successful, 3 children’s relatives were located and all expressed appreciation to the Ewafe team for the care and protection provided to the children. These children will all be resettled with their family members next quarter.

Family Reintegration 

This quarter, we successfully resettled 4 children with their relatives and conducted 10 family follow-up visits for children who had previously been reunited with their families. A further 6 parents who had successfully been reunited with their children also received additional training.

Foster Care

This quarter, one additional child was identified for foster care. A potential foster family was identified, and they had a positive meeting with the child at the Ewafe home, facilitated by one of our social workers.

Independent Living

2 young people were supported this quarter to prepare them for independent living. They are learning hairdressing and will be graduating soon.
