Homes

There are Bambi Homes in 4 cities, established according to specific criteria: needs analysis, knowledge of local circumstances, presence of competent, motivated and reliable local staff who execute our mission. They all contribute to this endeavor – proudly and professionally, honoring our donors’ trust.

Under the National Director’s coordination, the local Home managers carry out their task, creating public-private partnerships. The Homes work with social workers, kindergarten staff, nurses and auxiliary staff. They call on specialists to ensure the necessary nutritional, medical, psychological and emotional equilibrium which is a precondition for the childrens’ development. Due to the growing experience of our staff, we continuously improve our work.
