Social Services Base

The Social Work Base identifies various social problems such as addiction, homelessness, child labor, and single women in vulnerable situations. Through professional social workers, it provides counseling and refers affected individuals to governmental and non-governmental service providers to help control and reduce social harm and prevent its recurrence.
