Children's Crisis Centre
Our Children's Crisis Centre (known as 'Ruel House') is comprised of two buildings located beside each other. Our staff house accommodates staff, guests and parents while our children's home is a fully equipped children's crisis centre capable of accommodating up to fifty children.
TAKE A WALK THROUGH THE CHILDREN'S CRISIS CENTRE
With the poverty level a serious problem in the Philippines, we are now seeing a greater number of children being brought to our 'children's crisis centre' (Ruel House) in serious physical and emotional distress. Many small children have been cared for by an older brother or sister. Many are simply abandoned and left to die.
Local authorities work hard to address these problems but are seriously under funded and under staffed. The Ruel Foundation works closely with these authorities to help rescue children that are close to death from starvation or abuse. In many cases we just provide milk powder to assist a family in getting a child's weight up, however, in some cases this is not enough. The local health authorities usually ask us to accept the child into our crisis centre until the child is strong enough to return to their family or be placed for adoption. This can take from three months to several years.
We work hard to provide comfort, dignity and spiritual strength to both the child and immediate family as they walk through the process of helping some seriously sick children. Families share their deep gratitude for giving their child a chance when no one else would. In most cases, the children recover and become beautiful examples of God's amazing grace and compassion.
