About Hope and Homes for Children
"Orphanages don’t protect children—they harm them. The last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing every child needs: someone to love them."
Put simply, orphanages fail to serve their purpose. Research confirms what we instinctively know: science and lived experience prove that a child’s bond with family nurtures their growth. Yet today, over 5.4 million children globally remain wrongly confined to orphanages, with 80% incorrectly classified as orphans.
Children always belong in families—they deserve protection, encouragement, laughter, and love in the setting that feels most like home. This is our focus: eliminating orphanages for good. You can be part of making this future a reality.
