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.
Orphanages house orphans, right? Wrong!

Through community and family support we can PREVENT children from entering the system.
