New: Emergency Foster Care

IMG_8433.jpg

With the help of a generous grant, we have just launched an emergency foster care program!

This project will allow us to train local families to provide temporary care to abandoned or abused children while we look for permanent family solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity for us, as it means we will soon be receiving abandoned babies and children directly from the police in Kalungu and surrounding districts. These children are usually sent to orphanages, where they spend their entire childhoods in an institution.

By providing short-term emergency care in families, we’ll be able to provide nurturing family care while working to find each child a permanent loving family.
