living in institutional care worldwide.
This figure likely undercounts the true scope, since many children in informal care arrangements are never registered in official systems. When we include children living without proper parental care—such as in fragile kinship placements, living on the streets, and other similar situations—that number can exceed 140 million.
Data clearly shows that when a caregiver consistently perceives, interprets, and responds to a child’s emotional state–when that child is seen–, development is significantly higher than for children without the same level of attention. The word that describes this feeling is attunement, and our goal is to give it to as many children as possible.
The best way to make orphaned and vulnerable children feel seen, to give them attunement, is to support their caregivers. That’s what we do at A Child’s Hope. We provide individualized resources, professional training, and collaborative networks that caregivers deserve, improving their ability to exponentially grow their impact.
