Respect for diversity is essential. -
Experience must be valued and individual and organizational strengths should be capitalized upon. -
The organization should be open to new ideas. -
The board has a collective responsibility for stewardship. -
Care should be child-centered and family focused.

 Residents of our first home are photographed with National Director ~ Opened in 2006 a facility for 20 children ~ ~ 350 children were treated with dental sealants in Fall 2006 ~
Orphaned children in India lead a very difficult, sorrowful and oppressed life. Because of cultural belief that orphans are cursed, they are treated unfairly and are often mistreated. Most of these children end up begging on the streets or working long hours in the fields without a chance to receive any love and affection. A majority of these children become antisocial.
Many children are addicted to drugs and they lose their precious lives. For those children who are able to find homes with extended family members, they are usually treated as servants and are subjected to difficult work. These children need a loving home in which they can feel secure and safe.
Foster Care Children and Family Fund desires to touch the hearts of the orphaned children who are suffering so much by providing them with the basic care that should be afforded all children in their own home. All donations made to this project are tax deductible under the IRS 501©(3) code.
 
You Can Support Our Project By Providing: $30.00 Per Month:
Supports a child with medical and dental care,
clothing, basic school education,
including books and school supplies. $30.00 Per Month:
Provides food and shelter for one child.
