Child protection & Youth development

  • BADISA is a designated child protection organization which has the statutory obligation to protect children in accordance with the Children's Act.
  • BADISA has 52 social service offices which prioritizes all mentions of professed child neglect, molestation or abuse.
  • That means social workers need the necessary skills to assess children and families, and deliver and present court reports to the Children's Court.
  • If children have been neglect or abused, they are placed with safety parents in safety homes, foster care or child and youth care center's (children's homes).
  • The social service offices create safety networks in the communities to protect children and to assist parents and children.
  • The social service offices present life skills projects to children and youth which are combined with sports and cultural activities to empower them to make better life choices.
  • Especially the youth in the poorer communities overcome the challenges of inadequate school progress, teenage pregnancies, substance abuse, criminal behavior and unemployment, with the help of BADISA.
  • The staff of BADISA hosts camps, talent competitions, sports events and awareness campaigns for children and the youth.
  • BADISA has six child and youth care centre's (children's homes) where children and youth are cared for, within a residential program until they can be reunited with their families.
  • The children or youth are exposed to a variety of activities on a spiritual, social and educational level, within a structured and therapeutic environment.
