Profile of Fundashon Rosa di Sharon
The care organization Rosa di Sharon on Bonaire provides 24-hour recovery-oriented support, based on a Christian worldview, to (expectant) young mothers and girls aged 14–21 at Kas pa Hoben ku Futuro (KHF). These young women are unable to live at home for shorter or longer periods due to behavioral issues and/or an unsafe home environment. In addition to supporting the clients, we also provide guidance and support to the family system and the (young) father of the baby.
The support program consists of three phases with full-day programs:

1. Orientation and observation

2. Learning modules (school, work, sports, social skills training, chores, spiritual formation, etc.)

3. Future perspective after leaving KHF
