4. Who are these children and why is this programme exactly for them? There are many reasons why a child can be in a children’s home. Thesereasonscould be abusive parents, or aggressive background, truancy from school or the death of the parents. Many times the children’s livesarenot easy before getting into the children’s home.They all suffer and have their deep pain. They either have a family or they don’t, either have relationship with them or they don’t even know them. The experiences of the last couple of years haveshown us, that these children are extremely endangered in the topic of prostitution. That’s why we havealready organized some camps about sex and prostitution. In this year we would like to enter a tight area because we see that the social media (facebook) is a new area where they arebecoming more defenseless.
