Our Resettled Children
At Sonrise Children’s Home, we are committed to preserving family connections whenever possible. Guided by our social workers, we facilitate family visits and, in some cases, reintegrate children with their relatives.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors for their continued love and generosity, who make this ongoing support possible.
Our commitment to each child’s education and medical care remains unchanged. In a few cases the families have taken on 100% of the support for their child.
