What is foster care?
Foster parents provide safe, nurturing, and temporary homes for children whose parents are unable to care for them. They offer stability, emotional support, and guidance, helping children heal, thrive, and reach their full potential.
Beyond meeting basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter, foster parents help children build confidence, develop social and life skills, and maintain connections with their families, schools, and communities. By creating a caring and structured environment, foster parents play a vital role in shaping children’s futures and supporting their well-being.
