Project goals

1. Safe place for the children
After school hours, children are cared for by local staff. They
receive support with their homework, are guided to play games and
are given the opportunity to talk about problems at home and at school. The children get structure in their everyday life and further reference persons outside their family. In this way, they can be partially protected
from the violent actions of their parents and gain the motivation to
to lead their own life without violence.

2. Balanced nutrition
The children receive a nutritious meal in the evening, which strengthens them physically and keeps them
healthy.

3. Non-violent coexistence in the families and in the village community
Using various tools, the children and their parents learn the positive effects of living together without violence in the family and the
community. They gain knowledge about different ways to prevent violence
and can put this knowledge into practice.

4. Addiction prevention and accompaniment out of addiction
In the group, the villagers are motivated to take more care of their children and to find a way
and to find a way out of alcohol addiction.
