Children need Family.

Rich or poor, big or small, biological or adoptive - families are fundamental. They give children love, care and belonging, and everything they need to reach their fullest potential.

But all too often children are deprived of family, and for reasons that are totally unnecessary.

Meet Marjo. When Marjo was four her mom placed her in an orphanage. She was a single mom, and poor. It took her four years to save the money to bring her daughter home. In the meantime, Marjo was abused in neglected. She fell behind in her development. She learned to steal and lie, and fight for attention from staff and volunteers.

Today, Marjo is home with her family. It hasn't been easy, and she still can't talk about her life at the orphanage. One thing she will tell you is how much she loves her mom (and her little sister).

80% of children in orphanages, like Marjo, have parents, who sith support, could care for them.

We exist to bring them home.

Children Need Family.

We can do better.

Poverty shouldn’t drive a child out of her home and into an orphanage. 

With a bit of support - less than what it costs to home a child in an orphanage - children like Nancy can stay at home. Where more than just her basics needs are met. 

At home, in the care and protection of her family, Nancy can thrive.
