Our vision is a world where every child can grow up in a safe and caring family.
About us
Family for Every Child is dedicated to a vision of a world where every child can grow up in a permanent, safe and caring family, supported by temporary, quality alternative care where needed. Fundamentally, we are driven by three strategic goals: 🌐 Enabling children to grow up in permanent, safe and caring families, and 🌐 Ensuring a range of high-quality alternative care choices 🌐 Taking steps to prevent children from having to live outside of any adult care, without the care of families or other carers, and in the interim protecting these boys and girls We are an alliance of national member organisations (local civil society organisations) which has grown to a network of now over 47 members in 38 countries around the world. Family for Every Child was developed to demonstrate a different way of doing international collaboration. It is premised on the importance of diverse and contextually informed knowledge from all parts of the globe being given equal value internationally. Although our members all grow independently, they are connected by a shared “root” system, tended to by a small team of Family for Every Child staff (the Secretariat). This makes each member more effective, and the network as a whole more resilient, because together, we’re more than the sum of our parts. We believe in collective leadership and working horizontally bringing together our member organisations, our Secretariat and our Boards. We are committed to becoming a model of ways of working that starts to decolonise the sector. We are determined to improve as an Alliance on this journey. Ours is a “future focused” model that will facilitate growth, change and impact in a sustainable way. We connect online, and have no physical offices. The majority of our governing body of trustees that forms the international Family for Every Child Board are members themselves.

Our CEO Amanda Griffith recently wrote an article for Alliance magazine, commenting on "The Grand Bargain" and why there needs to be an international shift in how humanitarian aid funding in emergency situations is distributed. "Civil society organisations have the skills and knowledge to best decide how to lift their communities out of poverty, tackle human rights abuses and achieve the sustainable development goals." Amanda mentions our Frontline Fund – and why we're best placed to support local experts in delivering emergency aid, fast. It's a great and important read – have a look below: https://lnkd.in/gWnmx5DX And be sure to take a look at our Frontline Fund: https://lnkd.in/eQeqDwTR #HumanitarianAid #TheGrandBargain #FrontlineFund #Localisation #CivilSociety #OpinionPiece #GlobalCollaboration #InternationalDevelopment

📣 New blog post 📝 a 1.5 minute read ⏱ Kinship care – where children are cared for by family members other than their parents – is a lifeline for approximately one in ten children globally. Despite its significance, policymakers and practitioners largely neglect it, often placing children at risk. As a global alliance, we are leading and championing kinship care, because we believe that, with the right support, it’s a form of care that can transform millions of lives for the better. A new blog post is live on our website, summing up our stance and the recent release of our global kinship care guidance. 🔗 https://buff.ly/3yw7wNk #10YearsOfFamilyForEveryChild

Every year, one billion children are victims of cruel acts of violence. That’s one in two children on the planet 🌐🚸❌ Today, Family for Every Child is joining forces with Ending Violence Against Children in the global campaign "Childhood in Our Hands" – and the 100 day countdown has officially begun! 30 July marks 100 days until the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, set to take place in Colombia this coming November. Together, we're calling world leaders to deliver a breakthrough for the billion children and young people affected by violence. Violence damages the childhoods of today and societies of tomorrow. We are the first generation with the knowledge, and the power, to ensure more children are protected. All governments must recognise this mammoth responsibility and opportunity; to change the lives, and futures, of half the world’s children, who are victims of violence. You can get involved too – call on your local ministers to attend this global meetup and take action at the first-ever Conference on Ending Violence Against Children this November.

The abuse and neglect of hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders in the care of state- and faith-based institutions has been branded “a national disgrace”. The findings are shocking. The long-awaited report of the Abuse in Care Royal Commission, six years in the making has recently been released and we want to take a moment to acknowledge the bravery of everyone who shared their story, and those who weren't able to. Your voices have informed this important, eye-opening and harrowing collection of findings, which is holding state- and faith-based institutions to account. We see you, every single voice matters. #CareReform and strong support systems for those with care-experience and those who are currently in alternative care has never been more urgent and our member VOYCE - Whakarongo Mai are here to listen, advocate for, and amplify the voices of children in care aged 0-25. We're proud to be working with them. #CareReform #AbuseInCare #ProtectChildren #CareReform #ChangeTheSystem

📍Aotearoa, New Zealand It's global news, and the findings are harrowing. The care system has been declared a failure and 200K out of 650K people have suffered. The Royal Commission enquiry into state care continues to be in the spotlight, globally, and we hope you're following. We want to acknowledge the bravery of all those who shared their experiences in order to call for change, especially those young people who worked with our member VOYCE - Whakarongo Mai, telling their stories as part of VOYCE's independent submission "Korowai Aroha". Hear their words here: https://lnkd.in/dDy8fp69 There is a lot of work that needs to be done to improve this utterly broken system, intertwined with an avalanche of trauma and sadness that has been made public in recent days. In Aotearoa, New Zealand, we're prioritising care system reform in all of our work and together with other changemaker organisations, we will not stop until outcomes are improved for care-experienced rangatahi and tamariki. Let's get to work. #CareSystemReform #RoyalCommissionOfEnquiry #FailedCareSystem #JoinTheCall #ProtectChildren #CareExperienced #ProtectVulnerableChildren

📍Aotearoa, New Zealand 🚨 Breaking news – have you been following? The recent release of the Royal Commission of enquiry into state care in Aotearoa New Zealand has made waves throughout the media all over the world - and rightly so! The report has found 200,000 out of an estimated 655,000 people in care were abused and many more neglected, with Māori disproportionately affected. This report marks the care system in New Zealand as a monumental failure and a national disgrace, failing to look after, protect and care for vulnerable children and young people. We're glad that this huge issue is finally brought to the public's attention and addressed by political and religious leaders. As chair of the Children’s Rights Alliance Aotearoa, we have partnered with incredible local Changemakers to take a stand for tamariki and rangatahi in the care system. Change is underway, and we’re championing the call.
