OUR WORK
This home provides a shelter, meals, community, education, fun, hope, and opportunities to all those that live and work here.
Casa Amarela
Safe House
A Temporary Home away from Home
Up to 24 young people are homed in our safe houses in Olinda at any one time.
​
If a child is being abused or exploited then it is vital that they are taken out of that environment. The ReVive home provide a safe place for the young person to live and a chance to get back into education, receive the necessary help they need, learn new things and begin to restore their life, renew their hope for the future and reintegrate them back into a family environment.
Because we believe that every child has the right to a loving and supportive family, we work towards family reunification, fostering or adoption.
Fostering
Pioneering Family-Based Care
In September 2022 Revive launched the first ever fostering service in our City.
​
We believe that children thrive in healthy families, so we are working towards fostering becoming the primary method of care received by children in Olinda’s care system. Revive’s fostering service will initially be for children from 0-6 years old and, as our experience grows, we will widen this profile.
Our goal is that all children who cannot remain with their families will have the opportunity to live in a foster family until they are either reintegrated with their biological or extended family or are adopted.
We are also engaging with the local church about how the issues of family strengthening, fostering and adoption are central to our faith, as God has welcomed us into his family. There are many children in our care homes, and in others, who are in desperate need of a forever family.
We have not yet reached full funding for our fostering service. If you are help out by giving a monthly donation or a one off gift to care for the most vulnerable children in our city, please click on the button below.
Prevention Work
Community Projects & Social Enterpirses
Strong communities lead to safe environments and reliable families.
​
We have plans to set up a prevention project in some select communities in the city aimed at strengthening and supporting the family, in various ways, to help prevent that the young person enters an abusive or vulnerable situation.
​
​Safe houses are not the end, support is needed beyond the walls.
​
There are also plans to provide employability projects and work experience for young people as well as providing further support for young people who have been reintegrated back into the family from the ReVive care homes.
Social enterprises are the ‘missing link’ between young people from underprivileged backgrounds and a stable job. We hope to set up a few social enterprises, and partner with others, to provide key skills and opportunities for the young people to succeed in the workplace and provide them with a stable job for the future.
