Welcome
There are millions of children worldwide who are separated from their families due to wars, famine, disasters, disease, poverty, trafficking, abuse and neglect.
Orphaned or abandoned, these children have suffered the biggest loss imaginable - their family. |
|
|
What we want to see
Orphaned & abandoned children in developing and emerging countries being given the dignity of human life by living in families rather than various formats of institutional care or on the streets - this is called foster care.
How do we do that?
(i) Help established children's projects develop foster care programmes through on site training and consultancy
(ii) Use culturally adjusted preparation and training material used in UK over the past 30 years
(iii) Combine training with practical experience and up to date child care research
Why?
SFAC believes that Every Child Matters in every country. Orphaned & abandoned children have the need and the right to experience family life during their childhood, rather than the loneliness and isolation of an institution or the streets
Will you help us find Substitute Families for abandoned children?

SFAC subscribes to the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child: -
The family, as the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members and particularly children, should be afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community and that recognizing that the child, for the full and harmonious development of his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding
