Project Report | Nov 27, 2017
This is our 2017!

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.     

Seneca The Younger

Finishing the last months of 2017, we can officially say that the implementation of our re-integration program has been successful in the two new orphanages and overall we had no desertion from the program.

Our plan for the next year is to continue working with the same orphanages without adding new ones, but focusing more on strengthening our relations with each institution and including new participants per institution.

Right now we are in a strategic planning process of our vision for 2020 that will help us achieve bigger but sustainable impact. As an organization one of our long-term goals are:

  • Strengthening our governance
  • Opening a Transition center
  • Getting program endorsement from the government or other recognized international institution that works with children and adolescents

These goals will help us open doors for every substitute home/orphanage that needs support

As a part of creation of the life skills measurement system we have re-confirmed that our program answers to the needs of the institutionalized youth. We have also discovered that by re-structuring some parts we can even achieve more profound change in life skills.

Our 2017th results are:

  1. 100% participants retention rate
  2. 88% continues with their studies
  3. 87.5% no adolescent pregnancy
  4. 33% works and studies

To give opportunity to more young women, we have started the selection process for next year and for now we have 18 new candidates from 5 different institutions. By the end of January 2018 we will finish the selection and induction processes.

The only thing that is left to finish this year experiences is our theater play “La Principita” which all of us are very excited and nervous about =) and of course the graduation of 10 participants that have finished the two year program and are ready to start their emotionally and economically independent life. 

Thank you once again for being our silent players behind the scene and making all of this possible.

Sincerely,

Your TaV team
