Each one of our children is someone's daughter or son. This is why Roots & Wings is so passionate about orphan prevention. We love orphan prevention because it allows us the really neat opportunity to come alongside entire families and prevent daughters and sons from becoming orphans.

When you understand that vulnerable families are capable, and when you begin to focus on their strengths instead of their poverty, you shift your intervention and response to one that breeds independence, rather than dependence. This is why Roots & Wings places such large focus on empowering parents and caregivers.

Roots & Wings is working hard toward developing programs that promote personal growth and advancement for not only our children, but their parents as well.

But working with families is not always easy.

It is not easy to walk alongside parents, teaching them how to love and care for their own children. It is not easy to guide them in their relationships and interactions with others. It is not easy to forgive when they make mistakes that hurt their children.

They mess up; they let you down. But every day we must choose to love and keep on believing. Because believing that someone can and will succeed plays a huge role in whether they do or do not. 

We thank God for allowing us to walk alongside these families. Some days they will soar. Others days they will fall. But every day, we will choose to love them just the same. 

We invite you to partner with us to help protect children and build up families.
