WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR OUR SERVICES?
Our services are open to all people who are in need ranging from children in schools, youths in communities and institutions of higher learning as well as adults in various settings.
The only exception is our rehabilitation programme at Tirivanhu which accepts people who are above eighteen years. Those below eighteen years can be housed at other affiliate or related institutions such as Tariro Halfway Homes and Queen of Peace Rehabilitation and Crisis Support Centre which have appropriate infrastructure and manpower for caring for minor clients.
