children8 million

UnlovedMissing

no one really knows the actual figure.

... the shocking truth is,

32

Across the globe children are suffering life in an institution or orphanage. No one knows how many exactly, only that the figure runs into millions.

As a result, these children are not only deprived of their right to a family but also their right to an identity. They are totally disenfranchised and cannot demand even the most basic standard of care. On paper, they often do not even exist.

Left behind by their governments and communities, these children have higher mortality rates, lower educational performance and are more likely to become homeless, turn to crime or commit suicide.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

We have shown that there is a better way, one where no child is left behind. We make sure that these hidden children count and that governments take responsibility for them.

We have developed a way of working that multiplies our impact many times over and, as we build momentum, we are creating the conditions to end the institutionalisation of children for good.

It is an ambitious goal but this report will show you how we are achieving it.

of our training and

capacity building

As an organisation we punch well above our weight. By putting the right building blocks in place we ensure our work is sustainable and scalable, leveraging impact that belies our size. It’s a model of working that has seen us achieve great success and that sets us on course to change the lives of an increasing number of children.

We close institutions, move children into families and prevent children being institutionalised as a result of family breakdown.

This hands-on work has a direct impact on the lives of children and families and demonstrates exactly how to change a childcare system.

As we carry out our hands-on work we train local professionals, foster parents and carers, equipping others to do the work of Deinstitutionalisation, to leverage greater impact.

At local and national level we use the experience and evidence from our hands-on work to advocate for permanent, systemic change to the way governments and communities care for their children. By influencing decision-makers we transform the lives of thousands more children than we could directly alone.

I don’t want my baby to go into an institution; I want her to have love. People working in the orphanage do not give love in the way a mother or father does. A child needs to see a mother and father and have love and cuddles. If she has love, she grows.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina we produced a training package to assist young people leaving care, launched a new project to assist the Federation Government in implementing their national policy on child protection and broadened our work in higher education training for future childcare professionals in the universities of Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Mostar.

The IMPACT training manual, a ‘train the trainer’ manual for educationalists and representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection working with children with special needs, was launched in Romania.

In Sudan we were invited by the White Nile State Government to train social workers in implementing the new National Policy for Children Deprived of Parental Care. At the invitation of UNICEF and the State Government in West Darfur we provided training for social workers in preventing family breakdown, reintegrating children with families and methods of improving childcare in the best interest of the child.

I found the training extremely useful for the task ahead of us – closing eight institutions for babies in Bulgaria. The sessions were very practical and I feel confident and inspired to start the evaluation of children in the institution and their families using the Hope and Homes for Children model. For me it is very important that the Hope and Homes for Children experts will be beside us providing on-going support throughout the closure of the institution.

We continued to work tirelessly to influence decision makers by working with them to change policy and practice in order to secure better outcomes for children.

In Romania, we received recognition, through the prestigious Gala Awards, for a national public participation campaign which highlighted the need for children in institutions to grow up in families.

We completed a comprehensive national audit of social services for children in Romania, mapping the scale of the number of children institutionalised in the country. We continued to work with the Government in line with its policy to close all of Romania’s children’s institutions and replace them with family-based care.

In 2011 we began a similar national audit in Rwanda, mapping the scale of the problem of children growing up in institutions in the country. We made significant progress in securing legislative commitment from the Government to close all institutions. Consequently, Rwanda is now on the path to becoming the first African nation to ensure that, in the future, no child has to grow up in an institution.

In Belarus our work made significant strides. After years of educating and lobbying, the Government formally adopted our model of deinstitutionalisation as national policy and put forward a resolution which will eventually mean that no baby under the age of three will be placed in an institution.

The Sudanese Government launched the National Policy for Children Deprived of Parental Care, a landmark policy in the country which states clearly that institutional care is harmful and must be stopped. The policy also advocates for alternative, family-based care; that all children are brought up in their own or extended family, or where this is not possible in kafala (the Islamic form of adoption). Our team was instrumental in developing the policy over a three year period.

We began our influencing work at EU level through our partnership with Eurochild. By supporting this initiative, we are strengthening the voice of European organisations working to develop family-based alternative care in Europe, sharing and developing good practices and creating an enabling environment for Deinstitutionalisation.

When Bre’s twin daughters, Angeles and Yuliana, were born prematurely with profound health problems, she spent every minute she could by their bedside.

Medical bills escalated, she soon fell behind with the rent and utilities and, living in constant fear of eviction, Bre went to the authorities for help. Their verdict was to place the twins immediately in an institution for babies.

Before arrangements could be made, however, Bre saw Hope and Homes for Children on television. Seeing a last chance to keep her family together, she called us for help.

We provided Bre and her daughters with all the support they needed, securing a disability allowance for the twins, settling the debt which had built up for their treatment and making essential improvements to their home. The twins were also registered at a specialist rehabilitation centre and received the disability aids they needed to support them in their development.

The twins are now thriving and their doctors report very positively on the improvements they have made.

Meanwhile, Bre has since opened her home to her nephew, Artur, who had been abandoned and placed in an institution. Having fought to keep her own children, there was no question in Bre’s mind about what was best for him. She is now preparing to become his legal guardian so he can stay permanently as part of their family.

Looking ahead2011 was a particularly exciting year at Hope and Homes for Children. We were delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Waddington from War Child as Hope and Homes for Children’s new Chief Executive. The fact that we were able to attract well known and highly respected candidates of Mark’s stature speaks volumes about how far we have come in the past few years. In 2011, we successfully achieved a number of life changing events through our country programmes to address the widespread institutionalisation of children, an issue that has been hidden for far too long.

Throughout 2012 and beyond we will continue our innovative, direct and hands-on

work with children, families and communities. Our proven policies and approach not only effects important change for children but also gives us the expertise and credibility to assert ourselves as the leading expert in the deinstitutionalisation of children worldwide. We will continue to bring this experience to bear at state and local government levels to make sure the voices of the children we work with are heard in all deliberations about policies that have the potential to embed transformational change within whole childcare systems.

In 2012 we will also undertake a full strategic review of all of our operations. This will equip us with the focus we need to take

our approach to new levels and position us to achieve childcare reform on an even greater scale, influencing change for children on a global level. With your help, one day soon, no child will ever have to face a childhood in an institution again.

Thank you again for all of your support.

2011 also saw some significant initiatives to raise our profile. We were chosen to be the beneficiary charity of Grazia magazine’s Christmas campaign and The Spectator magazine published a feature on our work in Rwanda following a visit by Deputy Editor Mary Wakefield.

Throughout the year we continued to receive invaluable support from companies, trusts and foundations who not only directly funded our work but shared their skills and experience with us. We were delighted to secure several new partnerships including Rivera Travel and DAC Beachcroft and saw many of our long term partnerships go from strength to strength.

From global initiatives to local fundraising events here are some of the ways our supporters helped transform children’s lives in 2011.

We were delighted to be selected to take part in the BGC Charity Day for the second year running. Our patron Nick Hewer and his former counterpart on The Apprentice, Margaret Mountford, were on hand to man the phones and encourage brokers to give generously.

‘They’ve learnT

noT To cry –

because no one

will come’

B L P

Walking into the nursery, with a row

of tiny babies lying side by side in cots, charity worker

victoria martin is struck by the deafening silence.

abandoned in a romanian children’s home, they’ve

already learnt – even at a few months old – not to cry.

because even if they do, no one will come. ‘imagine

lying in a cot all day and all night, with no stimulation,

unaware if it’s day or night underneath the strip lighting.

and imagine having no one to hug you or comfort you if

you cry,’ says victoria, 27. ‘The saddest thing is walking

into a room of babies and not hearing a sound. The

silence always brings tears to my eyes.’

victoria works for hope and homes for children, a

charity that, with absolute return for Kids (arK), is

shutting down institutions in countries including

romania and finding families for the abandoned children.

The eastern european country hit the headlines in

1990 after harrowing images of orphans chained to their

cots were published. They were a result of President

nicolae ceausescu’s 25-year reign, when contraception

and abortion were banned. The result was that parents

had more children than they could afford to feed, and

their only option was to place their babies in an

institution. it led to horrifying conditions. when the

charity first started working in romania in 1998, there

were over 100,000 children in state-run homes.

while the situation has improved – hope and homes

for children has already shut down 44 institutions and

moved over 4,200 children into loving family homes –

there is still a long way to go. more than 6,000 children

will spend this christmas in one of these state-run homes.

by 2020, they are trying – with the help of the

romanian government – to shut down the remaining

170 institutions and find families for the children, many

of whom are severely disabled. it’s going to be a tough

ambition to fulfil, especially as thousands have been

abandoned because their families can’t afford to care for

them. so Grazia has teamed up with the charity for our

christmas campaign to help the youngsters find

someone they can finally call mum and dad. ‘even the

who can fail to remember the impact of this harrowing

photograph (left)? it’s 20 years since the images of romanian

orphans chained to their cots were released, causing

international uproar. while the situation in romania has

moved on, it’s still not enough… which is why Grazia has made

In June 2011 we launched a new four year partnership with ARK (Absolute Return for Kids) at an event hosted by the British Ambassador to Romania, Martin Harris. The Romanian Government has committed to closing all children’s institutions and the HHC-ARK Partnership for Romania will support them to develop sustainable, quality childcare services and create the momentum to ensure that Romania becomes the first Eastern European country to end the institutionalisation of children.

This new programme will build on the successful partnerships we have already established with local and central government and within four years aims to benefit almost 14,000 children. In the longer term, this ambitious national plan will bring lasting, sustainable change to the Romanian child protection system, transforming the lives of thousands more children.

The programme has won political support at the highest level from the office of the Romanian Prime Minister, the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Protection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the High Level Group for Romanian Children – all of whom were represented at the launch event.

We first began working with ARK in 2002. Since then, in addition to our other achievements in Romania, we have, together, directly closed 19 institutions and moved 2,066 children into families. We have prevented 7,383 children from being abandoned to the state care system and trained almost 4,000 people to work with vulnerable children and families in the community.

We believe the success of this new partnership will influence childcare reform throughout the region. For the first time, it will demonstrate that nationwide deinstitutionalisation is possible and provide valuable learning and resources for other countries.

In 2007 we became the recipient charity of the Soroptimist International Quadrennial Appeal. Through our joint initiative, Project SIerra – a family and a future, Soroptimists throughout the world raised funds and awareness to support our work in Sierra Leone.

This initiative has been an outstanding success. Not only was the target of raising £1 million smashed, with the total now

standing at £1,040,294, but awareness of the plight of vulnerable women and children in one of the least developed countries in the world was raised on the global stage.

The appeal concluded in July 2011 and over the previous four years thousands of Soroptimists have organised and participated in a variety of fundraising events, from jewellery recycling, tea parties and fashion shows to sponsored abseils,

concerts and a fundraising lunch at the House of Lords.

We have been inspired and humbled by the incredible support we have received for Project SIerra which has been life changing for thousands of women and children in Sierra Leone. We would like to thank Soroptimist International and Soroptimists across the globe.

Not all fundraising ideas have to be challenging or large in scale. Last year we encouraged our supporters to save their pennies in our home collection boxes. This idea was taken up by many of our supporters including sisters Angelica (14) and Jessie (4) who raised £23.86 between them!

Our Night of Adventure events, where daredevils, explorers and adrenaline junkies come together to share their exploits, continue to be a sell out success. The three fast paced evenings, supported by Vue Cinemas, included presentations from Monty Halls and Benedict Allen and raised £28,500.

Active challenges proved to be a popular way to support our work in 2011. Students and teachers from Ampleforth College held their annual rowathon and rowed the equivalent distance from Yorkshire to Romania and back! Over 150 fitness fanatics took part in the 9th annual St James’s Place Sprint Triathlon and raised £125,000.

I used a combination of activities and held a raffle, sold some outdoors items which were in very good condition, and did some waitressing for friends. As an added bonus, the posters I created were a great way to raise awareness of the work of Hope and Homes for Children as well as promoting my fundraising. By the end of the holidays, I had reached just under £400. AliceWhelan

“We would particularly like to express our thanks to the following supporters who made significant contributions in 2011:

Since our foundation in 1994, Hope and Homes for Children has saved and transformed the lives of many children by placing them into loving families.

We are blessed and humbled by our fantastic supporters, from those who have organised their own poetry reading, to triathletes, and from primary school children to large corporations. As a result, you have enabled us to ensure that the best interests of the children remain at the heart of everything we do, and love is the key to this.

Every penny that you give matters and we continue to be mindful of how we spend it, always seeking to ensure that we maximise the impact of our work. Many children remain confined to institutions around the world and so your continuing support of Hope and Homes for Children is vital to their future.

On their behalf we thank you most sincerely.

In a dream I found my home, my friends and parents. They waited for me

with a smile on their faces and with open arms. I looked through the window

and saw the entire world around me. That is the best thing that I have ever

experienced. And I wish that all children without parents living in this world

to experience such happiness as I did. If I had a magic wand, children in

institutions would have foster families, nobody would complain that they

are lacking something, and all would be safe, no matter where they are in

the world. Every child would be cared for.
