The “Relief” social service This year, women in the world will become mothers of disabled children. What does this mean? It means that, 24 hours day, 365 days a year, and THROUGHOUT LIFE, the disabled child will need constant assistance. The “Relief” service is an opportunity to entrust care of the child, for a short time, to a professional host family. During this time, the parents have a chance to rest and deal with urgent matters. Our staff select and train host families, monitor placement of children in host families and the quality of the services provided We are today helping 70 families bringing up 90 children with special needs.
