Institutional care is harmful to children. It is not necessary and it is deeply unjust. Yet millions of children are still warehoused in institutions worldwide, and several million more are at risk.

Hope and Homes for Children is recognised as a global expert in the field of deinstitutionalisation. By closing orphanages, supporting children into loving, stable families and working with governments to tackle the root causes of family breakdown, we have proven whole scale transformation of child protection systems is possible.
