OBC De Waai is a division of the non-profit organisation ‘vzw Jeugdhulp Don Bosco Vlaanderen’ that focuses on children and teens between the age of 6 and 18 with behavioural and emotional disorders. OBC De Waai is an open centre, which means that they do not – to the maximum extent possible – rob young people from their freedom and instead try to create a relationship of trust.
Every young person referred to the OBC starts with a stay of at least three months in view of an in-depth observation. Depending on the diagnosis, the young person either continues his/her treatment in De Waai for a period of maximum three years or is referred to another institution.
To create a more attractive outside environment for the -12 year olds, OCB De Waai would like to invest in outdoor playground equipment to create a space where children can truly relax, which is of great importance for their development. Support from the Alpro Social Fund would help them a great deal to realise this project.
