How We Can Help You
How You Can Help Us
We’re a team of expert social workers, therapists, lawyers and judges.
Together, we partner with organisations involved in the care & protection of children.
We provide training, mentoring, consultation and more,
at an accessible cost for as long as our assistance is required.
Why do we do it?
At the moment, too many children are growing up in unsafe and inappropriate environments.
UNICEF estimates that 1 billion children around the world are at risk of harm. A scary statistic, but this doesn’t mean these children are being ignored. Many organisations around the world are caring for vulnerable children with the best of intentions.
Unfortunately, they often struggle to find the support and help they need to turn those good intentions into good practice so children can be helped and not harmed.
Over the past two decades, we’ve changed the way MiLLiONS of children are protected and cared for.
How has a tiny charity reached millions of children?
Using SFAC’s 5 Pillars & 4 Stages of Transformative Child Care Model, we’ve equipped
1000s
of child care and protection practitioners from over
100
organisations across more than
50
countries to better protect and care for children in their regions.
Many of the small, grassroots organisations we work with go on to train others and advocate for change in their countries and regions.
As a result, we’ve worked with governments and judiciaries, resulting in legislative change and complete overhauls of national child care and protection systems in several countries.
See the changes we’ve contributed to in Paraguay for one example.
Here’s how we equip organisations to give children the best care
(If you work in child care & protection, this is for you!)

A Taste Test!
If you’d like to get to know us a little bit more, we’re slowly building our library of videos and blog post resources. Here’s a couple to get you started.
Feeling overwhelmed and depressed by the 24 hour news cycle of doom and gloom?
You’ll love our quarterly Good News & A Giggle emails!
They’re packed full of fun (e.g. quizzes and recipes from around the world),
loads of good news from us and the organisations we partner with,
and there’s always a little something to give you a giggle!
We’ll also occasionally pop into your inboxes with other news (rarely more than 3-4 times a year)
Here’s a preview of projects that need funding…
