Care Leavers
New Girls’ Transition Home
We were thrilled to open a new girls’ transition home in Colombo this week. Our first residents have already moved in and are settling into their new home.
We know that we can make a real difference to the lives of young women by providing accommodation, by funding training and further education, and by teaching life skills and providing high quality mentoring in a safe and supportive environment. When young women leave children’s homes at 18 they are particularly vulnerable. They usually have nowhere to live and no work. Our new girls’ transition home will provide the stability, safety, and community to our female care leavers that will allow them to flourish in the outside world. Beyond having a home base from which to study and work, the girls in our transition home will also participate in our life skills program to set them up for success.
Transition homes provide care leavers the chance to change the course of their whole life. We are delighted to be able to provide this opportunity to more female care leavers.
