our way
Through our work with orphans, we learned early on that a loving and stable family provides the best outcome for a child. We also learned that many of the orphans we met actually had a family of their own… but their family was so poor, they couldn’t afford to feed them. A deep act of love made them drop off their child at an orphanage so the child could survive. Imagine having to do that.
Knowing this gave us a clear focus. To do everything we can to help prevent a child from becoming an orphan in the first place. And for those children who are truly orphaned when we first meet them, we do everything we can to help build nurturing families within an orphanage or through adoption.
We help keep families intact by:
- Intervening early before the family gets overwhelmed
- Providing the food and supplies they need to survive and stabilize
- Making the life and small business services they need available to them so they can thrive
We call this Family Preservation.
We help build families for children who have none by placing them in:
We Listen, Deliver and Evaluate
- We listen to those living in crisis and provide them with what they tell us they need.
- We tailor these supplies and services to the unique requirements of each child and family.
- We continuously monitor and evaluate the impact of our work, maximizing its effect wherever we can.
