Orphanage Projects - Helping Orphans - Alliance For Children Foundation

Changing the lives of orphaned children, one child at a time

Our Mission:

The Alliance for Children Foundation is an international relief organization dedicated to improving the physical and emotional well being of abandoned children living in orphanages in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. The Foundation's projects in medical care, basic needs, and education seek to heal, strengthen and empower the world's most vulnerable children, especially those who are less likely to be adopted due to age or special needs. Our programs provide these children with an otherwise impossible opportunity for a better future.

What's New:

July 7, 2008 - In Loving Memory of Xiao Fu
Alliance is very sad to note that Chinese orphan Xiao Fu, who has been profiled on our web site (after meeting President Bush and Secretary Rice), passed away on July 7th, 2008, after suffering from a long illness. Xiao Fu was an inspirational individual and touched many lives around the world. Please visit our Make a Donation page if you wish to make a donation in his memory; all gifts will be used to help the orphans at his Hefei orphanage in China and to support the group he founded, Rights into Action for Disabled Youth, in Hefei.

April 13, 2008 - Ciccolo Sunbeam Village Opened!
Thanks to a generous donation by Massachusetts philanthropist Ray Ciccolo, the Alliance for Children Foundation was able to complete its efforts to open a 4th "Sunbeam Village" foster care center in Yulin, China. We are thrilled to announce that Ciccolo Sunbeam Village officially opened on April 13th, 2008, with 24 children moving in with their new foster families in apartments on the orphanage campus. Please click above to read our full announcement (in PDF format) for more information on this wonderful project to help Chinese orphans!

Dec. 1, 2007 - Wuzhou P & G Sunbeam Village Opened!
On December 1st, 2007, a new foster care "village" opened in Wuzhou, China. This project provides apartments for Chinese foster parents to live with groups of 5 orphans (most of whom have special needs) as stable families. It is modeled after the very successful Sunbeam Village project in Hefei that has been supported by the AFC Foundation for 5+ years, and was made possible by a generous $50,000 donation from Proctor & Gamble’s Live, Learn and Thrive Global Cause. Visit our Wuzhou P & G Sunbeam Village project page to see photos of the new families and to read the first inspiring report on how these orphans, previously institutionalized, are now thriving in their new family setting.
