Most of the housed children in the Pilot Centre have been abandoned at birth, often directly in the hospital, where they generally remain for 6-12 months waiting for a ‘destination’.
In order to promote the child’s cognitive development, allowing him a balanced growth and maximizing his learning skills, the Montessori Method was adopted in the Pilot Centre.
Most of the children in the Pilot Centre were born to a seropositive mother. Many of them were abandoned by their mothers immediately after birth in the hospital, in the maternity wards.
