Holt International provides child-centered services around three main program areas: family strengthening, orphan and vulnerable children care, and adoption services. Holt works to strengthen and preserve struggling families, whenever possible. Through nutritional, financial, health, education and counseling services, they provide the tools and resources families need to grow stable and self-reliant — addressing the root causes of child abandonment, and creating a safe, supportive environment for children to grow and thrive. Holt also works to ensure that children who have been orphaned, abandoned or separated from their families receive the highest quality care while they work to reunite them with their families or unite them with a loving adoptive family. They do this through a holistic program of medical, nutritional, educational and psychosocial services tailored to fit their individual needs and carried out in a nurturing environment. Finally, Holt's adoption services strive to find a domestic adoptive family in the country of the child's birth. When they believe that international adoption is the best option, their team of adoption professionals works across the U.S. to find the family best suited to care for each child's unique needs. And through pre- and post-adoption support and resources, they work to ensure lifelong success for both children and their families.
