HOW IT WORKS

Horizon exists to empower children and youth to a life of self-sustainability. Our vision is to radically transform the way they are cared for, which is why the best interest of each child is the center of everything we do.

Rescue:

We partner with local governments who rescue children and youth from poverty-stricken situations and bring them into Horizon’s care. A team of professionals works with each child to determine what they need, including temporary residential care or home-based care.

RESTORE:

We then work to restore their holistic well-being through access to these key services:

Health + Nutrition
  • Quality + Consistent Nutrition
  • Sanitation + Safe Drinking Water
  • Medical, Dental + Preventative Care
Housing + Safety
  • Safe Home for children + youth in crisis
  • Affordable + Accessible Housing
  • Basic Health + Livelihood Services
Education
  • School Admittance + Tuition
  • Individual Education Plan
  • Culturally Relevant Curriculum
Livelihood + Social Integration
  • Job Training
  • Small Business Seed Capital
  • Small-Scale Agriculture
  • Reintegration of Child/Youth into Local Community

Empower:

With the relationship to these services restored, children and youth are empowered as they realize their rights and exercise their own agency. At the same time, we restore their relationship to their family and/or community — our goal for each child and youth is their permanent placement in a healthy family within their community.
