Currently, twenty foster families are active in Affligem. They open their homes and hearts to children, young people, and adults who cannot live at home temporarily. With the 'foster care municipality' label, the municipality aims to visibly appreciate their commitment and inform more residents about foster care.
The theme of this edition is shared parenthood. Foster care is presented as a collaboration between foster carers, parents, family, and professional supervisors, who together seek what is best for a child or adult needing extra support. The tandem, the campaign's symbol, represents trust, cooperation, and moving forward together.
Foster care requires commitment and a big heart. More information about foster care can be found at www.pleegzorg.be, where individuals can discover how they too can make a difference.
