Our work in Kenya has led to some amazing collaborations with organisations, governments, and local communities to help make childcare reform a reality in the country.

Together we are helping to build a better future for everyone. 🤝 🌟

Lumos Moldova, Florești Family Doctor’s Centre, and Early Childhood Intervention Centre came together for a heartwarming event on 2nd April, for World Autism Day! Children, parents, and professionals joined for a day of learning, joy, conversations and support for families.

We're delighted UNICEF Europe C.Asia has released a White Paper on boarding schools for vulnerable children in Europe and Central Asia - especially as it cites Lumos’s Learning Curves research on the links between education and institutional care. Read here: unicef.org/eca/reports/ro…

We should always listen to people with lived experiences of institutions so we can better understand the harm they can cause. We're encouraged to see ParisHilton using her voice, advocating for others and bringing attention to this vital cause.

We need to change the perception of care reform at all levels, to make care reform child-focused. Striving for a future where all children can grow up in a safe and loving home.

This April, Lumos Colombia children will speak up in Bogotá! They will be pushing for transformative action and support for children in the protection system.

From the National Congress to the Bogotá City Council, they'll be sharing their ideas for a brighter future.

Lumos Colombia is empowering children from partner organisations with training sessions which focus on emotional and communication skills.

From interactive activities to a podcast series, we're doing what we can to boost confidence and nurture these future leaders.

Nothing compares to the love of a family.

Lumos, with the help of partners such as the Michin Foundation, is helping to reunite families like Camilo’s. Providing families with ongoing support to give children the love they need and deserve.
