A CHILD'S HOPE FOUNDATION

Train: connecting and equipping caregivers and other leaders in the orphan care space."train" encompasses the work we do in elevating care for children through the thrive program and the collectiveour network of care providers. The collective provides the opportunity for workers in the orphan care space to join like-minded individuals for collaboration and access to training and resources. The three types of events we organize are roundtables (events open to the public where we bring subject matter experts together to discuss a specific topic with participants), town halls (online, members-only meet-and-greets geared towards learning about the good work being done around the world) and lastly, workshops (curated conversations about a specific topic). In 2024, 118 new members joined the collective, bringing the total number of members up to 197. We hosted 47 events including 3 in-person conferences, 16 workshops, 6 town halls, and 14 roundtables.the thrive program is a process that assesses each partner home in 15 standards of care for children. In baja, mexico, the assessment is completed as a discussion between the home's leadership and a representative from a child's hope foundation. In other parts of the world, vetted deployment partners who are trained and coached by a child's hope team members assess the homes in their network. The assessment results lead to an improvement roadmap - a tangible, prioritized plan for how the home can continue to improve the environment so their children can thrive. 43 homes in 6 countries participated in the thrive program in 2024, improving the care for 1,864 children.
