Year Three saw important global momentum for keeping children in family care. CTWWC supported the creation of the “Transforming Children’s Care Global Collaborative Platform” with more than 450 members. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child held a Day of General Discussion on Children’s Rights and Alternative Care, bringing together more than 1,500 government representatives, children and young people, and civil society organizations from around the world. CTWWC contributed significantly to the planning and content of the event.
CTWWC continued to work for family care in Latin America and East and Southern Africa, and at the same time expanded communication efforts targeting U.S. faith audiences who support residential care facilities overseas.
CTWWC also conducted a Year Three review process which produced important feedback from children and families, social workers, government staff, and community members to inform the initiative’s work going forward
