We’re funding core costs to enable research and to support the replication of safe homes for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children aged 16+.
What we’re funding: The Enthum Foundation offers supported accommodation for up to 14 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) aged 16+. They live in personal and creative homes that are free of the usual air of multi-occupied institutions. Our funding will sustain and consolidate their existing two houses and enable them to fund further research and replicate these homes elsewhere.
Why we’re funding: Grounded in a vision of better care for society’s most disadvantaged young people, the work of The Enthum Foundation addresses an area of high need for unaccompanied UASC with mental health issues. Our funding of their core costs is based on their development of a humane and effective model with potential for replication.
