Join our mission to help millions of separated children make their way Back to Family.
About us
At least 5.4million children are currently separated from their families, shut away inside orphanages, even though 80% are not orphans. Orphanages expose these children to abuse, trafficking, and physical and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime. By working with families, communities, local authorities and governments, we’ve helped get thousands of children out of orphanages and back to family. And we also work to prevent the conditions that lead to family separation in the first place. Because a child needs more than food and shelter to survive. They need love, nurture and protection to really thrive – and that all comes Back to Family.

#TBT to the legendary Paloma Faith joining us to #EndTheSilence on the millions of children currently suffering inside orphanages. "Growing up in orphanages without love, family or music around is very, very dark for me to think of because it must feel very isolating and not conducive to feeling like you're part of society." Thank you #PalomaFaith for being a part of this essential conversation! 🌎 Right now, 5.4 million children are shut away inside orphanages. ❌ 80% of these children are not actually orphans. 🚨 Orphanages expose children to violence, abuse, trafficking and exploitation. That's why we're spearheading a movement to bring these children #BackToFamily. Where they belong. ❤️ Find out more: hopeandhomes.org Watch Paloma's full video: https://lnkd.in/e84M_ham

Artem lives in Ukraine and was taken away from his mum, Olena*, just because she was struggling financially. But thanks to the kind support of people like you, Artem found his way #BackToFamily, and will be spending this Christmas where he belongs. Home. This is just one of the MANY success stories you'll be contributing to by ordering from our Online Shop this holiday season. 🎄 Head to the link and get shopping! https://lnkd.in/e9SScN_H #HopeForTheHolidays #ShopForACause #FestiveGiving

Success. ❤️ In 2014, Olena ran an orphanage in Ukraine. But quickly, she realised orphanages don't help children. They put them in harm's way. That's why she reached out to our team for help. Together, we shut down Olena's orphanage and brought each child living inside #BackToFamily. Now, the former orphanage has been transformed into a community hub – a support centre for children and that holds families together instead of tearing them apart. And it's all thanks to your support. 🙏 #EndOrphanages

How do you find a way to settle Britpop’s biggest rivalry? It all comes #BackToFamily. #TBT to when we were joined by the legendary Damon Albarn from Blur for our #EndTheSilence campaign. Damon Albarn raised his voice for millions of children living inside orphanages, joining the likes of Noel Gallagher from Oasis. 📢 Around the world, 5.4 million children are locked away inside orphanages, even though 80% aren’t orphans. ❌ Orphanages expose these children to exploitation, trafficking, and psychological and physical harm that can last a lifetime. ❤️ That’s why we’re coming together to get these children out of harm’s way and Back to Family. And just like that, we’ve got harmony in the #BattleofBritpop! Head to the link in bio for the full video. #DamonAlbarn #Blur #Oasis
