The alternative care program in Mogadishu provides SOS family care (family-like care), foster care, kinship, and community-integrated Families and youth support. It offers children a nurturing family environment, living allowances, education, and life skills to prepare them for independent and self-reliant futures.
Key stakeholders and partners include children, parents, foster parents, child development co-workers, foster families, local community groups and leaders, CSOs working on child protection, public care institutions, educational institutions, and government authorities.
To ensure the sustainability of alternative care, the program team continues to equip children, young people, and caregivers with essential skills and knowledge, fostering their independence and responsibility. Additionally, the program actively promotes stakeholder engagement, participation, and collaboration to strengthen its impact.
