To end the institutionalization and suffering of vulnerable children disadvantaged through poverty in Sri Lanka. TFT’s long-term vision is to see poverty reduced, communities empowered, and lives transformed to end institutionalization and introduce a foster care system so that every child can reclaim their human right to grow up in a family.
Why is it important?
Currently, 80% of children in orphanages have at least one living parent but are given up by loving families, in crisis, in the hope of a better life, not understanding the long-term damage caused. 14,000 children are estimated to live in orphanages in Sri Lanka, without hope of a family, an education, or a future. Poverty, discrimination, disability, war and natural disasters are all factors that cause children to become separated from their families
