Our Approach
Child-centric intervention and trauma-informed care to help children heal in loving homes.

When orphans and vulnerable children are not cared for in a safe, nurturing home, their risk of exploitation, trafficking, child marriages, and abuse skyrockets. We know that the strength of a family and community is what protects and nurtures children.
