Foster Care
Helping Children Belong.
Identifying and Training the First Foster Families in Catacamas
Only 28 days old, Sebastian had been abandoned by his birth mother.
Through our Foster Care Program, he was placed with a loving, Christian home in Catacamas.
Families are recruited from local churches and trained by our FLM staff and SENAF (Honduras Child Services) to care for infants and toddlers. These families receive extensive training to become a foster family. Family Life Missions provides the families with needed resources such as milk, diapers, clothing, and medical attention. We also offer therapeutic intervention and family counseling as part of the regular follow-up process.
We are one of the first organizations in Honduras under the legal protocol to provide Foster Care and have been accredited by SENAF.
What began as a pilot program has now become an important part of what we do to serve the vulnerable and abandoned children in Catacamas. By providing foster care for a child, we are placing him or her in a family where they can grow and thrive.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
God sets the lonely in families.
— PSALM 68:5-6a —
Help Us Strengthen Families, Every Step of the Way
Through every home repaired, every business launched, every parent encouraged, and every child who remains safely with family, we see God bringing hope and transformation to Honduras.
