What We Do

We strengthen communities by strengthening children and their families.

Rescue

Our team responds 24-7 and works diligently to provide a safe environment for all children referred to our care. The center houses fully trained staff who work closely with the Social Welfare Department to identify, train, and register families of vulnerable children, and to provide foster care as needed. While Chrystal’s provides a temporary home for abandoned children, our main goal is for every child to become a fully functioning member within their own family.

Rehabilitate

The team at Chrystal’s provides support and rehabilitation for family members of abandoned children, with abandonment prevention as a main focus of our work. The center offers emotional and educational counseling to vulnerable families to prevent abandonment and to ensure that these families are able to properly care for their children.

Through the community empowerment program, the center donates food, clothing, and other basic items to those in need. Rehabilitation programs also include infants and their mothers who may be victims of sexual abuse, forced marriage, and father absence, as well as children who are HIV/AIDS positive. For these children and their families, our team offers medical care and connection to other healthcare and community service providers.

Reintegrate

Chrystal Children’s Center works closely with the Social Welfare Department to reunite rescued and abandoned children with their families. Our team conducts extensive background searches in order to locate parents or extended family members of children brought into care; and then designs and implements training for reunification. The center also provides the support needed for reunification of these children into the family unit and conducts follow up visits to ensure that each child is in a safe and stable environment.
