Child protection
Child protection programme – the historic pillar of Foyer Lataste
Foyer Lataste offers a human-scale living space where around thirty vulnerable children can grow up in safety. For children aged 4 to 12, care is provided in 2 Family Houses on the Foyer’s site, managed by foster mothers, to allow them to grow in a warm, family-like environment. For secondary school students aged 13 to 17, young people are housed in the single-sex boarding facility at Foyer Lataste.
