POLICY THAT CHANGES LIVES

You can help change the broken systems that keep children in institutions with insufficient care and out of the arms of loving families. Through partnerships with local leaders at every level of government, we work to change policies to transform the child welfare system from the inside out, so that hundreds of thousands of children have the opportunity to experience true healing.

IN BULGARIA…

This fall, our team traveled to Bulgaria and hosted a 2-day training aimed at intervening for the many children trapped in the child welfare system. By empowering caregivers and child welfare professionals with the tools needed to transform caregiving practices and policy, AGCI is continuing its 30-year commitment to intervene for the children in Bulgaria.

IN ECUADOR…

God is also moving in a miraculous way in Ecuador! This fall, over 600 caregivers, child welfare professionals, law enforcement officers, and mental health professionals joined us in a national 2-day training event. In Ecuador, thousands of children are growing up in institutions with no pathway to family or independence. Through this training, local leaders were trained in the harmful impacts of institutionalization and equipped with a new message of hope. Our shared hope is that by transforming their national policies, the many children in Ecuador can know a different future, one full of potential and joy!

HOPE IS…

Hope is believing that a better world with happy children will come.
– Ana del Rocio Cepeda Garcia, Director of PROMEFA, Fusagausa, Colombia

Hope for me is like “the invisible string” in the famous children’s book. It pulls you towards your better future but you may not see it with your physical eye.
– Etsegenet Mulugeta, Psychosocial Team Leader at Selamta Family Project, Ethiopia

Hope is the force that connects two hearts: that of the child who needs to heal and that of the adult who helps in the process.
– Zandi Orozco, Psychologist at CNA, Guatemala

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

Working with Colombian leaders, we have changed adoption laws so that 26,800 children living in institutions can be reunified with their families or eligible for adoption within 6 months.
