Read our latest Annual Report (2021 & 2022) for updates on our China, Thailand and Vietnam projects. We also have exciting reports on the new Cambodia project, and the latest developments to our 'My Family' digitalisation project. As ever, all of this work, time and effort is concentrated on the singular focus to ensure every child has the opportunity to live in a loving family!

2020 was a challenging year for everyone, everywhere! Only through good families were we able to get through it together - families make the difference. Read about how we adapted to make sure our work could continue throughout the year with new, digitally-based ideas that expands our vision and ensures more orphans and vulnerable children have the chance to be placed into families.

What a busy year we had in 2019. After reaching our vision for a million we brought the leadership team together to focus on our Vision and Mission for the future. The aim was to develop a new Strategic Plan for the next three years. Following a further meeting later in the year the strategic report was published, launching a new, global vision: 'A world of children in families'.

2018 was a year of significant milestones, celebrating 20 years since Care for Children began. The largest ever Asia Family Placement Conference also showcased the incredible impact of our work in China to all who attended.

2017 was an exciting year for Care for Children. We saw remarkable growth in our project work and staff numbers, and our newest project launched in Vietnam.

Momentum has really been building at Care for Children over the past year. We are now at an exciting juncture in our goal of reaching one million children, with our work in China and Thailand entering new phases and projects in South East Asia emerging.

After seventeen years the excitement to move forward and expand for the cause of these precious children is still a fire burning brightly in our hearts. We are grateful to so many wonderful people who have caught the vision with us and become passionate advocates for both the children and the amazing families who transform their lives.

Care for Children has financially supported 800 children in 2014 who are now living in safe, secure families. We have trained 545 local staff on the ground who have facilitated a further 7,853 children in their new families. This is a remarkable achievement, and a reflection of growing momentum in Asia.

2013 saw a ramp up in our China efforts. We signed a new agreement to work with 25 new project sites - many in poorer, western regions. We also initiated a new model where we’ve placed extra focus on five chosen institutions ‘the five cities’ that we aim to develop into pillars of best practice in family placement care.

In 2012 Care for Children signed a new three-year project agreement with the government to work in 30 project sites, with a greater emphasis on the poorer, western provinces of China where family–based care has yet to be developed. 10 of those sites are previously trained sites that will become part of a research project, the other 20 will receive focused training on developing family placement.

In 2010 Care for Children accepted invitation to begin a pilot project in Thailand. Care for Children’s National Foster Care Project in China currently works with 38 project sites in 27 provinces across the country. To-date, Care for Children has helped place more than 200,000 orphans into local Chinese families Children’s lives are being transformed through family life.
