Lumos

Eight million children live in orphanages and other institutions globally. More than 80% are not orphans but have been separated from their families because of poverty and discrimination.Orphanages harm children, exposing them to all forms of abuse and trafficking. Lumos rescues children from orphanages and reunites them with families. We change education, health and social care systems so all children and families can access the care and protection they deserve. We support families to provide the loving care their children need to develop and help them build a positive future for themselves. Because only families provide the building blocks children need to thrive and reach their full potential.
