HARARE Metropolitan Province Department of Social Welfare will soon introduce foster care as part of measures to integrate institutionalised children into communities.
Speaking at the Breaking the Silence: Empowering Youth Against and Gender-Based violence at the mayoral mansion this week, Harare Metropolitan Province’s Social Development Officer, Mrs Ngani said their mantra come 2030, was that all children in institutions should go back to the community where they belong.
“We are going to introduce foster care. We actually screen foster parents to take the children in the institutions. We will get these foster parents from the churches, even from your homes,” she said.
“Talk to your parents about bringing in a vulnerable child from the institution so that you stay with her in your family.”
