Descrição
Tallinn Shelter for Mothers and Children aims to provide a safe and secure environment for children and young people without parental care, while also supporting families with children who have special needs. The shelter offers a range of social services, with the most significant being the substitute home service. The shelter is organized into 13 units, including the Shelter for Children and the Shelter for Mothers and Children. The primary goal of the Shelter for Mothers and Children is to protect mothers and their children, while also empowering mothers to regain their self-confidence and independence. Many seek assistance due to issues such as housing instability, family conflicts, and domestic violence. The shelter supports mothers by helping them manage their lives, find employment, register at food banks, and more.
