Dominica Place of Safety
The Dominica 'Place of Safety' will be the first ever national 24 hour residential home for abused and abandoned children on the Caribbean island. As part of Action for Children's international work, the home will be able to look after approximately 100 children per year, giving them a secure and loving place of refuge. We need to raise £300,000 to complete and equip the project by October 2008.
Action for Children staff in Dominica are currently in contact with abandoned and abused children who are in need of dedicated care and protection, while efforts are made to find loving homes. For example, one child is currently living in a hospital because she has nowhere else to go.
We need your help right now to meet this commitment and protect children from abuse, neglect, and homelessness.
