OVERVIEW
Hope and Homes for Children is changing the world. Our mission is to be
the catalyst for the global eradication of institutional care of children. Why?
Because institutional care causes severe psychological, emotional and
biological damage to children, as well as higher levels of abuse and mortality.
Our work is unique — from closing institutions and prevention, to providing
alternative family-based care, developing the capability of our partners and
working with governments to reform child protection. We are internationally
recognised as leading experts in what we do and we believe we can achieve our
mission within our lifetime.
