Family Aid

An exciting new pilot project of the Soforthilfe La Paz is the family aid. Looking after children in a day care or after school care center is one thing, but in their home, in their real everyday life and in the family environment, in poverty, violence, is a completely different challenge.

The newly created team of the Soforthilfe La Paz, consisting of social workers, educators, psychologists and German trainees doing their internship abroad, has been dedicated to this new task since April 2016.

30-35 families have taken advantage of the offer of help so far. This consists of advice, support and assistance in the areas of law and legislation for families, children’s rights, health and nutrition, upbringing and education, dealing with money, career guidance and assistance with addiction problems.
