Support for Families

Our Community Resource Center will offer highly specialized care for children with medical and special needs and serve as a beacon of hope for parents who make the uncommon decision to keep their children with increased needs from ever entering into the orphanage system. We are actively involved in caring for the medical needs of countless children who are either living in an orphanage or with their parents, but the resources are not there for them to receive the medical care they so desperately need. These children need HOPE and a chance at LIFE—for someone, anyone, to notice them and to advocate on their behalf.

There are two distinct purposes behind the Community Resource Center we work towards building—family preservation and orphan prevention. We advocate for children who have been orphaned, but we also fight for families to stay together and help prevent more children from ever being placed in orphanages. This is why the Community Resource Center will offer some of the most needed services for families, which are specialized medical and therapy programs. We want to empower families to care for their children, no matter the child’s level of need and intervention, all while being surrounded by a loving and encouraging community. Children belong in families, and we pray the coming Community Resource Center will help families stay together.

Services within the Community Resource Center include comprehensive and highly specialized care in the following areas:

  • pediatric physical, occupational, speech, and sensory therapy

  • pediatric medical consultations and referrals to specialists both locally and internationally

  • preschool classes for children with and without special needs

  • community education and events

  • a playroom for waiting siblings

  • a library of invaluable books and other resources for the community
