Reintegration

AFESIP Lao PDR has a central objective to support the reintegration of victims to their communities, through sustainable financial independence after the rehabilitation process. In order to facilitate reintegration, AFESIP provides a 'business starting kit' either in-kind (stock for micro-business) or in cash (through micro-credit), utilised as a source of income generating activities to avoid re-trafficking.

In addition, we search for employment opportunities for women and girls. One of AFESIP’s most successful initiatives in this field stems from the establishment of a social enterprise (fair trade business) in Vientaine providing sustainable employment and training in beauty and hairdressing.

The reintegration elements include:

• Family tracing
• Family assessment and reunification
• Supporting family income generation opportunities
• Independent resettlement of girls/women in the communities
• Follow up of cases for up to 3 years.
