Every child deserves the love of a healthy family. However, not every parent grew up in a healthy family themselves. Often this leads to a breakdown in the family unit leaving children to fend for themselves and parents without hope.
Selamta’s Community Wrap-Around Program’s holistic approach serves as a support system for families to prevent family separation and ensure children have a home, forever.

empowerment
Parents empowered and equipped to raise healthy families
holistic wrap-around
Restoration of the whole person within each family
“The family is the main advocate for themselves. They know how to negotiate their needs, where to go for services, represent themselves in the community gathering and are involved proactively. Living in a family setting and within the community helps each person to learn from others and become a helping hand whenever needed.”
Selamta’s Community Wrap-Around Program serves families who have experienced separation, single parents, families at risk of breaking apart, kinship caregivers, and foster/adoptive families. With a holistic approach, Selamta’s Community Center and professional team provide relational support in 4 cornerstone areas: education, health & wellness, psychosocial support, spiritual development.
Selamta’s Community Center provides critical training for parents and children. Our team provides advocacy for families, helping them negotiate their needs at home and in the community. At Selamta, family and community come together. It's where children are seen, heard, and valued. It's where parents can learn skills they didn’t get growing up.
It's where family, dignity, and hope thrive.
“Selamta served us in so many ways from our childhood till now. They gave us an opportunity to go to school and learn. And they provided us with what we needed like school materials, clothes, transportation fee and others. Especially for me, they gave me a chance to work in a software company as an intern and this helps me to be financially stable and to get knowledge.
