Transitional Care center
DT’s recovery shelters are designed primarily for children and youth that were victims of trafficking to Thailand, victims of child labour, or to children living on in the streets. These centres welcome children for between 6 and 12 months, and emphasis is put on counselling, trauma rehabilitation and family tracing. Our longer-term shelters offer the possibility for the children to re-build their lives and access education. Each placement within a shelter is carefully considered; DT believes institutionalisation must come as last resort, and only if it is in the best interest of the child.
