WAR IS WHEN CHILDREN NEED FAMILY MOST
We’ve all seen the news of children caught up in conflict, but we haven’t seen the hidden crisis lurking behind the headlines. 1.2 million children whose lives are touched by conflict are confined in orphanages worldwide, and they are twice as likely to die as children living with families.
It doesn’t have to be this way. 80% of children in orphanages have parents who could care for them with the right support.
Your donations will help children get Back to Family. By the time conflict erupts it will be too late – so please donate today.
Grandmothers like Oksana* are fighting to keep families together
Her daughter died, and then a Russian airstrike destoryed her home. But through it all and with the support of our team, she's fought to keep her grandson out of an orphanage. Your gift will help us keep more families together.
THE HIDDEN CRISIS
Orphanages aren’t the safety net people think they are during war.
Staff disappear, supplies run out, evacuations collapse, and the institution people assumed would keep children safe becomes the reason they’re so vulnerable.
Children who could have been moved to safety, either with their own family or a host family are instead left exposed to violence, trafficking and abduction, with nobody coming to get them out.
This is why we need to act now. Please donate today before it’s too late or subscribe to our campaign updates to stand with us in the fight.

“I was one of the lucky ones. I survived."
Oggi Tomic, a BAFTA-winning filmmaker and charity ambassador, grew up in a Sarajevo orphanage during the war and was left to fend for himself after staff fled. Now he's joining our campaign to make sure no children suffer as he did. Your gifts will make that hope a reality
HEAR FROM KATE ADIE
ON WHY THIS CAMPAIGN MATTERS
For Kate, our mission is personal. She spent decades reporting from war zones. She also knows the power of family: adopted as a baby, she grew up in a loving home and later wrote Nobody’s Child about adoption. She's made this video to let the world know that orphanages aren't safe during war and help get children Back to Family before it's too late.
