Our vision is to see every child thriving in a protective and caring family.

We pursue our vision through four areas of focus:

Family Preservation

Strengthening families to protect children in vulnerable communities and preventing children from ever entering institutions.

Advocacy

Advocating for every child who has lost their family to be raised in a safe and protective family.

Transforming Systems

Catalyzing change within local and national child welfare systems to make family-based child protection the norm.

Permanency

Equipping and mobilizing front-line practitioners to find and empower safe families for all children living in institutions.

 
 

Social enterprise is a powerful facet of GCA’s approach to family preservation. Sojourn Studio empowers young women and moms on the Thailand-Myanmar border through dignified work.
