Savannah Project

• In-orphanage

May 2014, New Day China began their first in-orphanage care center. The goals of this center was to provide a significantly lower child-to-staff ratio, provide specialized training and support to a dedicated group of caregivers, and provide a living example to influence the orphanage staff.
 

• Foster Families

What is family?
It is the most important influence in a child’s life. Children living in families do better physically, emotionally and academically. Children thrive when they feel they belong and from the affection that comes from caring and supportive families. The earlier a child can be part of a family, the more noticeable and longer-lasting the effects.

Knowing this it was devastating seeing children, in 2018 and 2019, in a nationwide initiative being taken out of families and returned to institutions.

Then GOOD NEWS- the end of August 2019 we were approached by the orphanage where we have the “Savannah Project.” They had been given permission to be one of 18 orphanages nationwide allowed to place children in foster families. With no experience and limited resources they asked for our help.
