The orphanage era is ending! The shift to family care is real & requires collective effort. Move from supporting institutions to championing family care. Strengthen families, increase alternatives, empower communities. Download "Rethinking Orphan Care": faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…
Christians want to do what's right, but even good intentions can lead to harm. A @CTmagazine article unpacks why some STMs can be problematic, offering a vision for a better, more meaningful approach. Read it here: christianitytoday.com/2025/08/honest…
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.
Daniel's children went to an orphanage. Thanks to a transition to family care & community support, an effective plan kept them with family. Supporting families is a better way to care for vulnerable children. Join the Global Church Pledge: globalchurchpledge.org
Biblical principles guide our care for vulnerable children. What does that mean for family care? Scripture is the foundation for prioritizing family for vulnerable children, ensuring they receive love & belonging for thriving. Join us in supporting family-centered solutions.
Transitioning children from orphanages to loving family care is achievable. This solvable problem fuels a growing Christian movement. We're seeing systems shift & children safely return home. Join a transformative movement. Sign the Global Church Pledge: globalchurchpledge.org
Planning an STM? Know the best ways to help vulnerable children? Is visiting an orphanage most effective? Learn evidence-based best practices for lasting impact. Download our Short Term Missions Guidance: faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…
Orphanages shouldn't be a child's only option. Empowering families & communities with resources, and vital alternatives like kinship/foster care & adoption, aligns with the UN (2019) to end institutionalization & prioritize family. Learn more: faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…
Most children in residential care have a living parent. Poverty, often with illness or lack of education, is the leading reason for placement. Imagine parents' impossible choice. With community support, many families can stay together.
Heartline's Haiti Case Study proves transition from residential to family care is possible! They shifted from an orphanage to family-strengthening programs keeping over 1,200 families together. Sign the Global Church Pledge to help children thrive: globalchurchpledge.org
Research shows orphanages harm child development. Children in residential care often suffer developmental deficits. Even the "best" institutions lack the lifelong bonds a family provides. Children grow best in families.
An unexpected connection ignited a lifelong passion. This piece by Joshua Ward dives into his experience of how building Bulembu Ministries revealed a hidden reality: most children labeled “orphan” have family. Read more: christianpost.com/voices/orphan-…
If they aren't orphans, why are children in residential care? Poverty + crisis (like illness) forces families into impossible choices to meet basic needs. Both "push factors" (hardship) & "pull factors" (perceived benefits) lead to separation. Let's keep families together.
Look after orphans & widows in their distress." (James 1:27) God's heart calls us to action & prayer for vulnerable children. We're compelled to ensure every child receives nurture & belonging. Download our Prayer Guide: faithtoaction.org/wp-content/upl…
Orphanages can meet physical needs but lack vital developmental & emotional support children need to thrive. Children raised in residential care often struggle into adulthood. Family is for a lifetime; you don't "age out" of a family.
Children grow best in families. While orphanages were once common, research reveals their limitations. Strengthening families is the most effective care for vulnerable children. Faith to Action offers resources to raise awareness & build support for family care.
Seek wisdom in caring for vulnerable children. Many Christians visit orphanages, but most children there have a living parent. Orphanage visits can harm and divert resources. Shift to family-strengthening missions that prioritize lasting relationships.
Children thrive in families, building community connections. Residential care, like orphanages, can prevent this vital social development. These facilities should always be a last resort, temporary, not a permanent solution. Prioritize family-based solutions for every child.
