The pandemic has left these children extremely vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking, and enslavement, and their livelihoods are endangered. Our program—titled Project HEART (Healing, Empowerment, Advocacy, Resilience, and Togetherness)—will include two safe, loving homes (one for girls and one for boys), three nutritious meals a day, proper bodily and mental healthcare, academic education, vocational training, life skills, and emotional and social learning programs. BBF-BASE-BBA do not seek to institutionalize children; instead, our goal is to create a safe and loving community around those children who lost their caretakers and are living in vulnerable conditions. We will create a loving community home called "HEART Home." There will be at least two houses to separate the girls and boys, and we will work within the larger community to ensure the children are still very much a part of the society. BBF-BASE-BBA will provide the children with:
