Whole Child International




Orphanages are an everyday reality for millions of abandoned, neglected, abused, and orphaned children worldwide. Few of these children ever have the opportunity to have a meaningful relationship with an adult, a critical factor in healthy human development.

And yet we know there are solutions.




 


Embracing the Future

Whole Child International works in existing children’s institutions to improve the quality of care and help prevent the bleak outcomes that await most children raised in the world’s orphanages.

We are currently working in Nicaragua and El Salvador, and are preparing our program for expansion into other regions of need. As long as orphanages exist, we are committed to cost-effective interventions to help ensure the children within can develop the basic psychological tools they need to succeed in school, work, relationships, and families of their own.

We can close the cycle of despair that continues to keep generations of children from realizing their promise. Please consider joining us to provide these children with the basic human right of a chance at a bright future.
