Emergency Appeal
A sudden funding cut has put thousands of children at risk. We need your help
Keep Children Safe. Keep Families Together.
#StrongerWithYou
On 12 February 2025, USAID issued a Stop-Work Order that immediately suspended funding for a critical five-year programme. Overnight, 40% of our 2025 budget disappeared, disrupting vital services that keep children safe and families together. We must raise £120,000 to keep these programmes running. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised £88,000 so far, just £32,000 to go. Every gift, of any size, makes a direct difference today
of children living in orphanages across the world have a living family member
Orphanages are separating families, fracturing communities, and ultimately harming children.
We know change is hard and scary. There are too many orphanages and too few alternatives. They can feel necessary, and seem like the ‘obvious’ solution, when families are in need.
At Child’s i Foundation, we are building a blueprint for sustainable alternatives to orphanages: truly social services run by and for communities to strengthen families and support them to raise their children, as well as finding new foster and adoptive families for those who need them.
It takes a village
to raise a child
This August, form your village and walk, run, cycle, dance or swim 150 miles together. Every mile helps keep children where they belong — in families, not orphanages.
