Effective foster care system

Selection and training of foster families 

In 2025, KBF submitted a new proposal to further improve their foster care system. They aim to provide foster parents with the best possible information and guidance, and to support this, they plan to develop a new, more comprehensive handbook.

Children who cannot live at home (temporarily) often end up in large-scale residential care centers in Manila, unfortunately. Growing up in a family setting is almost always better for children’s development. This is also more cost-efficient.
Our Philippino partner organisation Kaisahang Buhay Foundation (KBF) provides foster care as alternative care for children in need.

The aim of the project is to develop a well-functioning and responsive foster care system. This is vital to protect children.
