Nest Centers
Day-care Nest Centres for children coming from multi-problem families have been launched in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a form of preventive and intervention programmes focusing on children aged between 6 and 15. Fourteen centres were opened in small places in BiH in order to ensure more permanent support programmes to empower children at risk to overcome difficulties and challenges in their lives more easily.
A standardised and adapted methodology focuses on building resilience, child participation and encouraging mutual support. The approach allows for individual monitoring and direct work with children.
Every centre has around 30 regular beneficiaries, three employees and around 10 active volunteers each. The centres’ activities cover the children’s parents as well, while cooperation is also established with representatives of schools and other relevant institutions providing support and protection for children at risk.
