Care for Children's work has resulted in an estimated one million orphans and vulnerable children growing up in families instead of institutions.
As well as ensuring good quality family-based alternative care is provided when children cannot live with their birth family, Care for Children also advocates that a healthy child welfare system will need to include family strengthening and family reunification to ensure children can remain with their birth families when possible.
