Care for Children partners with governments to transition from institutional care to family-based care for orphans and vulnerable children.
To ensure family care is accessible nationwide, governments must establish a national system with standards, guidelines, and legislation, ensuring both private and government-run family care meet these benchmarks and undergo external monitoring.
Care for Children's experts work with government departments to train staff and stakeholders as family placement workers. These workers recruit, assess, and train families, and oversee the transition of children from institutions into supportive local families.
Training materials are tailored to each country's unique cultural and political context, enabling systemic nationwide improvements to child welfare systems and helping thousands of vulnerable children find secure, loving families.
