Organization's Mission
Half the Sky's mission is to ensure that every one of China's orphans has a caring adult in her life and a chance for a bright future. Half the Sky provides individual nurture and stimulation for babies, innovative preschools that encourage an early love of learning, personalized learning opportunities for older children, and loving — and most important, permanent — foster homes for children whose special needs will keep them from being adopted.
Organization's Programs
Baby Sisters Infant Nurture program trains nannies who provide orphaned babies the stimulation, bonding & affection essential to a healthy start; Little Sisters Preschools provide an innovative curriculum to give children self-confidence, basic skills, and love of learning; Big Sisters program provides personalized tutoring & mentoring for older children; Family Villages provide loving, permanent homes for children whose medical and developmental challenges preclude them from being adopted.
