Through the services developed by Hope and Homes for Children, children move from care in large and cold institutions where they do not receive individual attention and affection, to systems based on the family concept, which allow them a life close to normal. Through the efforts of the Foundation and its partners, 5,810 children were removed from orphanages, and another 455 are about to leave orphanages that are being closed.

At the same time, the Foundation works intensively to prevent the separation of the child from the family, intervening with the necessary means to support families where the risk of abandoning the children is high. Thus, 31,580 children were rescued from family breakdown, 1,168 young people were supported for independent living, 1,964 children were admitted to day centers.
