Strengthening families to prevent children from entering institutional care
While many loving families strive to care for their children, sometimes the loss of a job, inability to provide running water, or a proper roof over their head can result in children being removed from their home and placed in a local orphanage.
Did you know?
80-90 percent of children living in orphanages across the world have at least one living parent. Poverty and lack of access to social services is the primary reason a child is placed in an orphanage.

Conducting social investigations to identify safe and caring relatives to provide orphans with kinship care.
Providing life skills training and programs for aged-out teens, increasing their opportunity for employment and healthy relationships to provide proper care for their children.
