Virlanie's actions are divided into 3 core programs and 3 shared services of expertise. It starts with the Community program, where we work on preventing the occurrence of abuse and neglect among children through supporting family development. Second is Street, where we put our efforts into providing education services to children and families who need it the most. Third is Residential, where we protect, shelter and care for children through providing them a loving family atmosphere. Our 3 shared services, Health, Education, and Independent Living Service are focused on providing holistic support to all children cared for through the three core programs. Since its creation in 1992 by the French social worker Dominique Lemay, Virlanie helped more than 22,000 children in need of special protection through its innovative familial approach and its various programs and services.
