Ten reasons not to start an orphanage

Invitation to read this book

“Ten Reasons Not to Start an Orphanage: A Care Leaver’s Perspective on Effective Alternatives” is not just a critique; it is a call to action. I invite you, whether you are a policymaker, social worker, philanthropist, or concerned citizen, or thinking about starting an orphanage or own one, to join me in advocating for better care solutions for vulnerable children. I emphasize the importance of collaboration, innovation, and a child-centered approach in developing care systems that truly support the growth and well-being of every child. My vision is clear: to shift the focus from institutional care to more nurturing, family-based and communitysupported models. I provide practical recommendations and examples of successful initiatives that have transformed the lives of children around the world. By sharing my knowledge and experiences, I aim to inspire and empower you to become an advocate for change and to contribute to creating a world where every child can thrive in a loving and supportive environment.
