But we believe that when we all do for a few what we’d like to do for many, we can change the future one child at a time.
Who We Are
We believe in putting children first, building families, addressing the past, preparing for the future, investing locally, and introducing children to Christ by showing unconditional love.
What We Do
We work to help keep vulnerable families together and build families through domestic adoption, fostering or safe reunification. When this isn't possible, we provide small group homes and an intimate family environment that supports children through young adulthood.
KUDA VANA SCHOOL
Our primary school is an essential step in emotionally and academically preparing vulnerable children for a positive high school experience, and ultimately a self-sufficient future.
FAMILY PROGRAM
Being in family is always best. We prioritize safe family reunification. When this isn’t possible, we work to connect children in our care with loving families through domestic Fostering, Adoption, or Mentoring.
YOUTH TRANSITION
Just like any family, Kuda Vana provides holistic support to young people as they transition to self-sufficient adulthood. This includes support through vocational school, University and other educational programs.
