After registering as a charity in Great Britain in 1998, Care for Children began a pilot foster care project with the Shanghai Bureau of Civil Affairs. By mid 2002 the project, which received funding support from the British government’s Department for International Development, had found foster care placements for 400 children previously living in a state orphanage (Child Welfare Institute).
Based on its experience in Shanghai, from 2001 Care for Children began also to work with Child Welfare Institutes in Kunming (Yunnan) and, later, Chengdu (Sichuan) and Yinchuan (Ningxia), providing training and technical support for local fostering services.
From 2003, the organisation began to work with the China Social Work Association on a five year project to promote foster care in fifteen provinces. Care for Children’s main role is to provide training and evaluation of fostering services developed by one state orphanage in each of these provinces. Training will mainly be delivered through four orphanages, in Xi’an (Shaanxi), Chengdu, Wuhan (Hubei) and Beijing.
Since beginning work in China, Care for Children has been instrumental in arranging and sponsoring two national conferences on foster care.
Care for Children’s work has been supported by grants from the British government, corporate spnonshorship, donations from private individuals and the proceeds from public fundraising events.
