Models of intervention for children in difficult circumstances in South Africa.
Advances in policy have helped to create interventions for children in difficult circumstances in South Africa. This article examines models addressing children suffering abuse and neglect and children affected by HIV/AIDS. The focus is on innovative local attempts to deal with these problems, rather than theoretical reflection. Larger programs are usually conducted by government agencies because they have more resources but valuable solutions have also been created by NGOs.
