F.R.O.D.O Programmes
F.R.O.D.O. started its work in 2006 focusing on ways to get access to medical treatment for children with disabilities living in institutions.
We devised a series of programmes to deliver this objective, which are listed under FRODO Medical. Some address the needs of groups of children with a specific condition, others look to treat individual children with a variety of disabilities.
F.R.O.D.O. Medical programmes identify orphans and abandoned children with disabilities or life-limiting conditions, then strive to provide medical treatment in the hope that this will transform their quality of life, and increase the number of opportunities for them to fulfil their potential.
In 2008 we introduced our most ambitious programme to date – Institutional Transformation. Though we abhor institutions and feel that all children should be moved to family type homes or foster families, we also feel there is a strong moral obligation not to forget about those left behind. Please click here for information about our work in this very important area. We also need financial support if we are to achieve the best outcome for thousands of children living without hope in institutions.
Another new programme is our Abandonment Prevention. initiative. Working with NGO partners, we are developing teams of Family Support workers inside maternity hospitals in Romania. The key objecttives of this programme are:
- to reduce the rate of abandonment of babies in these institutions, particularly of babies with disabilities; and
- support and educate mothers and mothers-to-be to have positive choices in caring for their children and themselves when they go home.
