Foster Care

One out of every ten children is at risk of growing up alone.

We’re on a mission to change that. Here's how:

Prevention

Prevent child abandonment and build resilient families

Long-Term Care

Build loving families for orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children

Empowerment

Educate and empower children and youth to reach their full potential

Movement Building

Give children a voice to advocate for their rights and build a movement for transformational change

OUR APPROACH

Our approach is not based on charity. In partnership with governments, NGOs and other relief organizations, we build effective community support systems. Our short-term assistance to vulnerable families includes food, medical care and access to education. Our long-term services, which focus on making families self-reliant, include savings and loan associations, income-generating activities, childrearing classes, health education and more.

JOIN OUR CAUSE

Ensuring that every child grows up supported and cared for in a loving home is a profoundly optimistic endeavor. Only with the help of caring, compassionate donations we can transform this vision into reality.
