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.
