The National Children's Institute (INAC) will set up a database, starting next year, which will include an exit profile project for all children, adolescents and young people who grow up in reception centers across the country, to allow their effective reintegration into society.
The information was revealed by the Director General of INAC, Paulo Kalesi, in the city of Menongue, Cuando Cubango, speaking at the end of a visit to the Mbêmbua reception centre, where he delivered food and hygiene material.
Paulo Kalesi informed that a process of listening to parents and children in reception centers in Luanda and later in the other provinces of the country is under way, for the collection of subsidies, before the implementation of the innovative technological project.
He referred that the database, a project by the Ministry of Social Action, Family and Women's Promotion, through INAC, will define the departure of all children, adolescents and young people from reception centres, with the creation of a scholarship, through academic and professional training, to be immediately absorbed by public and private companies, in order to support themselves and their future families.
"We started negotiating with public and private companies, which could absorb these teenagers and young people, in order to guarantee the first job to this fringe of society, as soon as they leave the homes for disadvantaged children, so that all the effort made by the reception centers has not been in vain, providing academic and professional training, employment and decent housing, through social projects”, He stressed.
Paulo Kalesi pointed out that the main benefits of the project are to prevent adolescents and young people from returning to the streets after reaching adulthood and looking for jobs on their own, that they have a home as soon as they leave those homes, as well as preventing reception centers from investing the few financial resources they have for renting houses to house these children who were raised there.
