Foster Care India is launching a Manifesto to help change the way that over 1.2 billion people look after and protect children in India. “This Manifesto sets out clear options for ensuring high quality, family-based care for the thousands of vulnerable children in India. We believe in every child’s right to a safe, nurturing and healthy family environment. We are also partnering with stakeholders at the local, state and national level and are working to empower communities to be led by the needs and voices of all children,” says Ian Anand Forber-Pratt founder and executive director of Foster Care India.
The 2015 Manifesto has been endorsed by UNICEF – Rajasthan, Core Assets Fostering & Children’s Services Group – Birmingham UK, Child Welfare Committee Member Delhi -Haryana, India, International Social Services (ISS) – Geneva Switzerland and others.
