In their own words

“The mission of Hope and Homes for Children (HHC) is to be the catalyst for the global elimination of institutional care for children. Established in 1994, HHC has accumulated 30 years of international experience of reforming child protection systems through the process of de-institutionalization (DI).”

Read the rest of the statementShow less of the statement

“DI is the policy-driven process of reforming a country’s care system with a focus on transitioning from institutional to family and community-based care, alongside the development of prevention and family support services. Ultimately, HHC aims to achieve systemic and lasting change by supporting the design of robust child protection systems, effective in preventing children’s separation from their families and providing quality alternative care.”
