Children belong in a family

Overview

OrphanCare Foundation wants Malaysian children to live and grow up in a loving family environment. Our vision is a world where children no longer suffer institutional care nor face threats to their survival.

We believe a child has a right to love, security, shelter, health and education as enshrined in Malaysia’s Child (Amendment) Act 2016 and the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
Our work involves the following:

Deinstitutionalisation

They deserve better

We work to end the institutionalisation of children in Malaysia and transition to a family and community based care system

Building capacity

We provide a range of services for institutionalised children, families, prospective adoptive parents, adoptive and foster parents and women facing unplanned pregnancies

Climbing out of old paradigms

We raise awareness about the need to end the practice of putting children in institutions. We also advocate government, private and public engagement to make the transition to a family and community based care system
