Project Patron

Project Patron helps young people from children’s homes integrate into society and prepare for independent living. After leaving the children’s home, teenagers are mostly on their own, so it is important for them to know that they have someone to trust and turn to. Patron offers them a valuable one-on-one relationship. That’s why each of them should have their own patron!
