Care for Children USA
Care for Children is a global children’s charity with a vision and mission to see children across the world moved out of orphanages and into local families.
"Children who are raised in families learn life skills – they can wash their own clothes, help make meals, do things for themselves. Children raised in orphanages are always waiting for the sound of a bell, a bell to tell them it is time to eat, a bell to tell them it is time to go to bed, another bell to tell them it is time to get up. Children in orphanages don’t get to choose what they want to eat, but children in families go to the market with their mothers and their mothers ask them what they want to eat and they are part of making decisions about the family meals. Think about what that means to a child. If we were that child we would want someone in our lives who is going to love us, understand us, care for us in that way and help prepare us for the future."
