OUR IMPACT
No child should endure poverty. No child should face life alone.
Though our reach may be modest, our impact is profound. We are making our voices heard at the highest levels, ensuring that every child matters.
We are driving social change by partnering with global experts to advocate for and raise awareness about the detrimental effects of institutional care on children. Our mission includes promoting Alternative Family and Foster Care solutions through high-level training for National Childcare Services, the Judiciary, law students, political leaders, civil society organizations, faith groups, universities, local NGOs, and communities.
This growing body of knowledge is fostering a transformative shift in understanding.
Children Belong in Loving Families, Not Orphanages.
