Six privately-run children’s homes and orphanages, which have met the minimum operational standards, will soon begin receiving government subventions
This is according to Minister of State Joseph Harmon, who said yesterday that Cabinet recently granted the subvention approvals for the Bal Nivas Shelter for Abused Children, the Bless the Children Home, the Children of Promise, the Cornelia Ida Children’s Home, the Ruimveldt Children’s Home and the Save R Kids Children’s Home.
Harmon said that the homes have been in operation for some time and have been monitored by the Child Care and Protection Agency (CC&PA), which ensured that they met the minimum operational standards in keeping with law. He said that it is expected that the subventions will “immediately improve the child care services provided by these homes.”
