Department of Social Development and Welfare calls for community support in Foster Care

#TurksandCaicos, June 25, 2024 – The Department of Social Development and Welfare conducted several recruitment drives across the Turks and Caicos Islands, engaging stakeholders, potential foster carers, and advocates to highlight the urgent need for foster carers. These events raised awareness of the importance of foster care, highlighting the role it plays in providing safe and nurturing environments for children in need and emphasising the overall impact it has on the lives of these children.

The Department of Social Development and Welfare is issuing a heartfelt call to the community to continue to support its foster care recruitment initiative, as the demand for loving, stable foster homes has never been greater. The department urges compassionate individuals and families to consider opening their hearts and homes to children in need.

The Turks and Caicos Islands can pave the path for a brighter future by forging a stronger, more supportive community for children in need.

The Department of Social Development and Welfare is calling the public to come together and support this vital cause by:

2. Spreading the Word: Help the Department of Social Development and Welfare reach a wider audience by sharing information about foster care with friends, family, and community groups.
3. Volunteer: There are many ways to support foster children and foster families through volunteer efforts.
4. Donate: Financial contributions can help provide essential resources and support services for foster children and families.
