Connecting children with foster families, right where they live
Families instead of orphanages
Family-based care offers a proven solution to protect vulnerable children around the world. Because of poverty, illness, war, or abandonment, many orphans and vulnerable children around the world do not live with their families of origin.
As a result, many children end up in orphanages. While orphanages may provide for a child’s basic needs, they are not intended to protect and care for children long-term. Only a family best supports a child’s physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs.
