Foster Care Program
Our strategy is to partner with local couples in order to inspire and motivate them to offer a place for children who have experienced the trauma of child abuse and neglect at orphanages or at risk families and who need a stable and caring environment. We seek parents who can give love, guidance and understanding for children having physical, social and emotional needs.
Our Foster Care Program recruits, trains, certifies and supervises couples wanting to become foster parents. Our goals are to protect, provide sufficient care for a child in a nurturing, safe and loving environment, and to give each family ongoing training and support.

We have the power to help reshape their future by providing positive guidance and a sense of hope that will empower them to make healthy choices and live productive lives.
