Coronavirus and orphanages


For children in vulnerable families, Coronavirus is not just a health crisis—it places them at urgent risk of losing their loving homes and childhoods to the neglect of an orphanage. You can stop this. Donate now to prevent children losing the safety of home, and ensure the global recovery from Coronavirus is built on the foundations of strong, supported families.
