Children grow best in families. Scripture (Psalm 68:6), life experience, and research agree. Families provide essential love, support, & belonging for a child's development. Kids in loving families thrive more than those in orphanages.


Of 5-8 million children in orphanages, 80% have a living parent. Why there? Often, poverty + a crisis (illness, job loss). Parents facing impossible choices see residential care as the only way to meet basic needs. Let's champion strengthening families: where children thrive best

A child needs more than shelter. Research shows long-term residential care lacks vital developmental & emotional support. For every 3 months institutionalized, a child loses 1 month of development. Family is for a lifetime; children never "age out."

God's heart for vulnerable children is clear in Scripture. As followers, we're called to justice, support, & love, joining His work. It begins with prayer. Use the Faith to Action Prayer Guide to pray for children worldwide: faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…

Every child deserves a family. Children grow best in loving families, which provide essential belonging, emotional support, & development. Residential care is a last resort, temporary solution & not permanent.

Christians lead global child care, but many US supporters of overseas orphanages aren't aware of family-based alternatives. There's a huge opportunity to shift focus to empowering vulnerable families. Christians can truly lead this movement to keep children in families.
