GCF AFRICA COMMITS TO FAMILIES OVER INSTITUTIONS

Give a Child a Family Africa believes that every child should grow up in a stable, loving, and nurturing family where they can reach their full potential. As an organisation, we stand behind the global care reform movement, advocating for the transition away from children’s homes and emphasising care in secure families within the community as the most obvious answer to this.

We recognise that children thrive in environments where they feel safe, loved, and supported. Research has shown that children who grow up in family-based settings are more likely to develop emotionally, socially, and academically. Our commitment to the cause is unwavering, and we work tirelessly to advocate for policies and practices that prioritise family care.

We work with local communities, policymakers, and stakeholders at all levels to strengthen and empower families in providing the care children need. This collaboration is essential for preventing the removal of children from their families of origin. Our programmes focus on prevention, early intervention, and community support, paving the way for children to flourish in safe, nurturing environments.

We invite everyone to join us in this important mission. Your involvement, whether through advocacy, donations, or supporting us in other ways, can make a significant impact in the lives of vulnerable children and families. Together, we can build a brighter future, ensuring that every child has the chance to grow up in a loving family.

Thank you for standing with us.
