 Major Activities

In order to achieve the project goal and objectives, Alemachen will accomplish the following strategies and activities.

Strategy 1: create a strong partnership with families/parents or caregivers of a disabled child

Before admission into Alemachen Convalescent Home for Disabled Children, the project staff will fully listen and orient the disabled child’s family or caregiver on the services to be provided and the role of the family at different stages of care. The family or caregiver will be fully responsible for providing child care after discharge from the center. The family provides a contact address for the guarantor. The guarantor can visit the child periodically and will reintegrate the child into the family after getting holistic services at Alemachen. For the further follow-up, Alemachen will share the information with local parish priests, congregations in the area, religious sisters, CBR, NGOs government social affairs, and private entities.

Strategy 2: create a strong partnership with partners providing medical and other rehabilitation services

Providing medical and rehabilitation care services to a disabled child is a complicated process and needs several partners to work together at the same time and at different phases.
