Direct Child Assistance
The core intervention strategy of the Liliane Foundation is Direct Child Assistance. This strategy focuses on the individual needs of each child.

They then provide access to local services suitable for the child and fitting with the local resources. Children develop best in their own environment. Assistance based on their local context is, usually, most appropriate and efficient.
