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.

Child consultations OHCHR Care and support systems EUROPE AND EASTERN EUROPE 14:00 London 15:00 Geneva 16:00 Kiev/Chișinău - 5th September 2024 Register here https://lnkd.in/dPg9Dbxj AFRICA 15:00 Geneva 16:00 Nairobi - 9th September 2024 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dNjkFBz6 Hope and Homes for Children, Lumos, Save the Children and Plan International, Transform Alliance Africa, together with the UN OHCHR are inviting children and young people to participate in online, oral consultations on the theme of Care and Support. The purpose of the consultation will be to gather inputs to help inform an expert workshop on the topic of care and support, which will be held in late in 2024 at the United Nations. Furthermore, the consultations will help inform a report on care and support which will be presented at the United Nations Human Rights Council in March 2025. This is an open call to all children and young people in the Eastern Europe region. You can find the child friendly information here in English, French or Spanish The UN will also use the information to write a report on human rights and care and support. The report will be published online in March 2025 in 6 languages (English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Russian) and an easy-to-read version of the report in English. The UN and States will be able to use the report to help their decisions and their work to protect human rights of people giving and receiving care and support, and their self-care. The call will be 90 minutes (14:00 London, 15:00 Geneva, 16:00 Kiev/Chișinău - 5th September 2024), with the UN OHCHR and children, supported by the child focused NGOs. Logistics & languages The working language of the call will be English. If a child or young person needs interpretation, their supporting organisation will need to engage an interpreter. We can arrange an interpretation channel in the zoom call where necessary; please let us know in advance if interpretation is required. Participation in the call is entirely voluntary and participants can choose to leave at any time. We will have adults available if anyone is experiencing any difficulties or having any worries. Adults may join children and young people in the call as personal assistant, support persons or to provide language support. This is a consultation for children and young people, so we do ask that adult support persons refrain from sharing their own thoughts and opinions during the call. Adult opportunities for this work stream You can find adult and organisational opportunities to input on the OHCHR website (see current call on leprosy ) https://lnkd.in/dac8EmwV #ChildCareConsultation #UNHumanRights
