February Focus on Foster Care
Love Without Boundaries Foundation
LWB is an authentic, international NGO providing healing, education and refuge to vulnerable children worldwide.
Did you know that LWB's international foster care program has provided refuge to more than 4,000 children for over two decades?
We believe that every child deserves a family, and we work hard to keep kids out of orphanages. Here is the latest news from our vital foster care program.
Family Tracing Success
Far too many children in orphanages around the world have living relatives who could care for them. As part of our foster care program, LWB social workers work as detectives to search for birth family.
For Lizbeth, Lincoln, and Lily-Anne, who were part of our Pailin foster care program, family tracing changed their lives. After receiving new information, we were able to locate their birthmother in another city. In January, this sweet sibling group was able to safely reunify with their mom. The kids were overjoyed to be with her again!
New Foster Care Location in Uganda
LWB is on the forefront of expanding foster care in Uganda in partnership with the national government. They have asked LWB to prioritize areas with the most children in institutional care.
In late January, we held a launch meeting with officials in the far northern region of Lira. Orphanage wardens were in attendance, along with local leadership. Eleven orphaned children will soon be moved from orphanages to family-based care.

Chosen for Adoption in Cambodia
In Cambodia, we celebrated that three children in our program will soon have permanent families. The foster parents of Maurice, Hetty, and Kierran have filed the legal paperwork for domestic adoption!
We are truly grateful to our supporters and donors who make it possible for so many children around the world to experience the healing power of love.
