Helping Families

At Heart for Children, we believe that the family is the cornerstone of society. As such, we aim to help as many abandoned children become part of a new family and to thrive in a safe and loving environment. We do this by founding new families within the existing community and culture to which the child belongs.

Our family care model consists of bringing together five or six children (South Africa) or twelve (Haiti) children with a foster mother, and sometimes a father, who together form a new family. The foster mother or parents of such a family are supported by health and childcare professionals. To be as effective as possible, we work together with partner organizations on-site. For family sponsorship we are looking for 100 donors who want to contribute 9 euros a month to the livelihood of a family.
