This is a page to help bring awareness and keep people up to date with what the S.A.I.N.T.S Family Network is up to.
Through caring and involvement, S.A.I.N.T.S Family Network supports mothers, families and their children to secure a better future.
S.A.I.N.T.S gives hope to children by:
- Employing best practice in our early intervention programs for stressed families with young children.
- Developing networks that link families with their communities.
- Promoting the needs of families burdened by physical, social and emotional problems as they struggle to love and to care for their children.
S.A.I.N.T.S aims to:
- To provide a service to families with newborns and young children who are identified as needing extra support, because of physical, social or emotional circumstances.
- To help families reach their full potential by providing a nurturing, protective and enriching environment for all its members.
- Through S.A.I.N.T.S Home Visitation Program, empower families to become self supporting.
S.A.I.N.T.S Family Network,originally known as the Hope For The Children Foundation, was set up as an initiative of Rotary International in 1992 to combat the problem of family breakdown and inadequate childcare. S.A.I.N.T.S provides a home visitation service, delivered by trained volunteers who provide practical support to stressed families, focusing on mothers with new babies and young children, 0 - 3 years of age.
S.A.I.N.T.S Family Network is needs based and available to every family at no cost, irrespective of socio-economic or marital status. The cost of operating a S.A.I.N.T.S Network is $40,000 - $80,000 annually. When compared to $210,000 a year to maintain a young person in juvenile detention, the return on investment is self-evident. S.A.I.N.T.S recieves no permanent government funding and relies on donations and fundraising in the community through organisations such as Rotary.
