CHILD CARE THROUGH THE INVOLVEMENT OF NGOs – AN INTERNAL PERSPECTIVE
CHILD CARE THROUGH THE INVOLVEMENT OF NGOs – AN INTERNAL PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Child protection is a major point of interest not only for the competent institutions in the field, but also for the NGOs that have extended their activity, embracing this category of beneficiaries, too. The vulnerability of the children coming from underprivileged environments, often caused by the precarious conditions existing in the natural families, is the object of several NGOs, which evolved after the 1990s. Democracy restored the civil societies’ freedom and courage to pool their resources for non-profit purposes, aiming at increasing the quality of the lives of the children who are in risk situations. This paper grasps, from an internal perspective, the manner in which an association intervenes for preventing situations of child abuse, neglect and even abandoning. The research methodology used a qualitative method, i.e. the interview, in order to observe the impact of the provided social services, from a triple perspective (the associations’ president, the association’s beneficiaries and the association’s volunteers).
