Our ally the Child Reintegration Center (CRC) in Sierra Leone was founded in 2000 as an orphanage,  but today, it’s a powerful force—working to prevent separation, reunify families, strengthen households, and coach other organizations to transition from orphanages to family care.

We believe every child deserves to thrive. HCW partners with local leaders to strengthen families, end poverty, and build resilient communities—because lasting change starts with love, dignity, and empowerment. 🌍💙 helpingchildrenworldwide.org

What if the best way to help vulnerable children isn’t building orphanages—but preventing the need for them in the first place? Listen to learn what care reform looks like in action—and how we can all help children grow up where they belong: in families. buzzsprout.com/1997407/episod…

Mercy Hospital has been named Best Faith-Based Hospital in Sierra Leone by the Ministry of Health at the 2025 National Health Summit! 🏆🇸🇱

🌍 140–150M children are classified as orphans—but only 1 in 9 have lost both parents. Many are separated due to poverty, not abandonment. It’s time to shift the model: invest in family care—strengthen families, support kinship, build community.

Before our ally transitioned from orphanage into a Child Reintegration Centre, 98% of children in its care had a living parent. Most didn’t need separation—they needed support. Orphanages aren’t the solution. Families are. Let’s invest in what helps children thrive.

The global movement to transition children from orphanages to families is growing—but it needs courageous collaboration to move forward. This is a must-listen for donors, leaders, and anyone ready to align their values with real, lasting change. buzzsprout.com/1997407/episod…

Children in orphanages face more than delayed development—they’re also at greater risk of abuse, neglect, and trauma. Families offer the love, protection, and connection every child needs to thrive. Children belong in families—not facilities. Let’s shift the model.
