Eligibility
Eligibility and admission guidance
Basera reviews every case carefully and needs clear identity, guardianship, and safety information before any intake decision is made.
Children with no reliable caretaker
This includes orphans and children who do not have anyone able to look after them safely.
Children forced into unsafe work or severe hardship
Cases involving exploitation, unsafe living conditions, or extreme vulnerability can be reviewed.
Unknown or displaced children
These cases may be reviewed on a provisional basis while detailed information is gathered.
Required documents
Bring a birth certificate, Form B, parent or guardian NIC, school leaving certificate if available, father's death certificate if applicable, an NOC from a responsible local authority or guarantor, and a clear explanation of the family situation.
What happens after first contact
Basera reviews the child's circumstances, available documents, and safeguarding details before confirming whether a visit or intake review can proceed.
Response timing and urgent cases
If the case is urgent, say so clearly when you call or email. Basera will guide you on the fastest available next step and any immediate information needed.
Safeguarding first
Basera may delay or decline admission until identity, guardianship, and child-safety details can be verified. This helps protect both the child and the wider home environment.
