Children needing homes in Jamaica
Families in Jamaica are being challenged to take on a foster child each in a new drive to slash the number of children living in care homes, the Jamaica Gleaner reported on 10 February.
The Child Development Agency (CDA) has put out the call to mark Foster Care Week following reports that more than 2,000 children are living in residential homes in the country.
CDA chief executive officer Alison Anderson said that although there are many committed foster parents already supporting children in Jamaica, there are simply not enough to cope with demand. Of the 2,000 children in care, 350 are under the age of eight.
"Even though placements have been consistent over the last three years, settling at approximately 250 new placements per year, there has been no real growth in the programme," she said.
"They say Rome wasn't built in a day but we should all embark on a personal mission to see these children being placed in families, what a marked difference it would make in their lives!”
