A
Distance Adoption: what is it?
With
a limited financial contribution, distant adoption
means giving a child or youth in particularly
difficult conditions the possibility of growing up
in his own country, respecting his culture and human
dignity. It means food, medicines, schooling, a
family, the love from far away persons who are
concerned with his growth and to participate to his
life, exchanging letters, drawings and experiences.
Distant adoptions are organized locally directly by
our volunteers or cooperating with reliable local
associations. Sometimes distant adoptions are part
of other AVSI local activities with institutional
funds. In this way, besides a individual support, a
complete development program is granted to the child
and the distant adoption contribution allows to
increase the resources for the child, his family and
his community.
Distant adoption is important to improve everyday
life of thousands of children and teenagers, and may
be considered an efficient action to reduce poverty.
