When children are separated, our calling is family care. Alternative family care offers kinship, foster, and adoption options matched to each child's best interests. Connect children to loving relationships. Download "Rethinking Orphan Care" to learn more faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…

Yesterday at the UN General Assembly, the Global Charter on Children’s Care Reform was launched. 28 countries have signed & 101 organizations have endorsed it-showing the growing momentum to create lasting change for children & families everywhere. gov.uk/government/pub…
Beautiful Gate, South Africa, shows a profound shift to family-based solutions. All 40 children transitioned to families by 2015. This highlights that effective care means prioritizing family. Sign the Global Church Pledge: globalchurchpledge.org
Children grow best in families. Scripture (Psalm 68:6), life experience, and research agree. Families provide essential love, support, & belonging for a child's development. Kids in loving families thrive more than those in orphanages.
Of 5-8 million children in orphanages, 80% have a living parent. Why there? Often, poverty + a crisis (illness, job loss). Parents facing impossible choices see residential care as the only way to meet basic needs. Let's champion strengthening families: where children thrive best
A child needs more than shelter. Research shows long-term residential care lacks vital developmental & emotional support. For every 3 months institutionalized, a child loses 1 month of development. Family is for a lifetime; children never "age out."
God's heart for vulnerable children is clear in Scripture. As followers, we're called to justice, support, & love, joining His work. It begins with prayer. Use the Faith to Action Prayer Guide to pray for children worldwide: faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…
Every child deserves a family. Children grow best in loving families, which provide essential belonging, emotional support, & development. Residential care is a last resort, temporary solution & not permanent.

The orphanage era is ending! The shift to family care is real & requires collective effort. Move from supporting institutions to championing family care. Strengthen families, increase alternatives, empower communities. Download "Rethinking Orphan Care": faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…
Christians want to do what's right, but even good intentions can lead to harm. A @CTmagazine article unpacks why some STMs can be problematic, offering a vision for a better, more meaningful approach. Read it here: christianitytoday.com/2025/08/honest…
Christians lead global child care, but many US supporters of overseas orphanages aren't aware of family-based alternatives. There's a huge opportunity to shift focus to empowering vulnerable families. Christians can truly lead this movement to keep children in families.
Daniel's children went to an orphanage. Thanks to a transition to family care & community support, an effective plan kept them with family. Supporting families is a better way to care for vulnerable children. Join the Global Church Pledge: globalchurchpledge.org
Biblical principles guide our care for vulnerable children. What does that mean for family care? Scripture is the foundation for prioritizing family for vulnerable children, ensuring they receive love & belonging for thriving. Join us in supporting family-centered solutions.
Transitioning children from orphanages to loving family care is achievable. This solvable problem fuels a growing Christian movement. We're seeing systems shift & children safely return home. Join a transformative movement. Sign the Global Church Pledge: globalchurchpledge.org

Orphanages shouldn't be a child's only option. Empowering families & communities with resources, and vital alternatives like kinship/foster care & adoption, aligns with the UN (2019) to end institutionalization & prioritize family. Learn more: faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…
Most children in residential care have a living parent. Poverty, often with illness or lack of education, is the leading reason for placement. Imagine parents' impossible choice. With community support, many families can stay together.
