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!
