By 2050 all children will grow up in loving, nurturing, protective families.
Most children in orphanages have families – families who simply need help raising their children.
To change the lives of children, we work strategically with partners at every level to move away from the institutionalisation of children towards a model of community-based care.
Thanks to Lumos, over 31,500 children have left – or been prevented from entering – harmful institutions and orphanages since 2009.
Lumos supports the empowerment of children to become young spokespeople, especially those young people who live with intellectual disabilities or are members of other marginalised groups.
Lumos' Global Training and Advisory Team provides a wide range of technical assistance to local Lumos programmes worldwide.
To create meaningful change, we partner with advocates and allies at every level: from international decision-makers to children and their families.
Dumitriţa is an active promoter of children's rights to a family, education and participation and has taken part in a number of advocacy campaigns with Lumos as a young advocate.
There are many people that have a great story to tell about how Lumos' work has touched their lives.
