Who We Are
We are a grassroots children’s charity working toward a future where every child grows up in a safe, loving family.
We work directly with children, families, and communities, while also strengthening care systems to show what’s possible when children are supported to grow up safe, connected, and loved.
Our Vision
A world where every child grows up safe, loved, and part of a family.
Our Mission
Every child deserves love, belonging, and a family of their own.
We support children who are orphaned, abandoned, abused, or living without safe family care. By strengthening families and helping children remain with ki, or move into foster and adoptive families when needed, we help children grow up in safe, nurturing homes.
Our work focuses on lasting solutions that support children, families, and communities, ensuring every child has a place to belong and a family of their own.
Our Values
Child-Centred
We see every child as valuable, capable, and full of potential. Their safety, dignity, and well-being guide every decision we make, always prioritizing a child’s need for stable, loving family relationships.
Family, in All Its Forms
We honour families of all kinds — birth families, extended kin, foster caregivers, and adoptive parents. We believe children thrive when they are known, loved, and raised by people committed to them for the long term.
Community Strength and Partnership
We believe strong communities create strong futures for children. Our work is rooted in local leadership, cultural respect, and shared responsibility, building on the care and resilience that already exist within communities.
Respect, Humility, and Accountability
We honour the dignity of every child and family we serve. We act with humility, integrity, and transparency, earning trust through ethical practice, honest communication, and responsible stewardship.
