Ten reasons to start a Life Village

 

 

Starting a Life Village benefits the child, its parents or carers and the Life Villagers themselves.

 

 

1. A child grows up with the support of a community

 

2. A child learns new skills that the parents/carers couldn’t offer on their own

 

3. A child has access to people who can be a listening ear

 

4. A child has loving adults in their life which can improve their self-esteem

 

5. Parents/primary carers feel supported in their parenting

 

6. Parents/primary carers feel less isolated

 

7. Parents/primary carers have people to go to for advice

 

8. Life Villagers can feel privileged to be asked to play a special role in the child's life

 

9. Life Villagers can feel a special sense of purpose in helping the child which raises their self esteem

 

10. The Life Villagers feel part of something worthwhile
