How we work

Forget orphanages. Children need family. We ensure every child has a loving, stable home.

Donate to our Ukraine Crisis Appeal

Help provide war-torn families like Tina's with urgent practical and emotional support.

Families. Not Institutions.

Hope and Homes for Children is an international charity that works to stop the institutionalisation of children.

Instead, we fight for every child to feel the love and belonging of a safe family home.
