Victory CHILD Empowerment (VCE), through the Community of Practice Africa and with support from Child's i Foundation, is documenting promising and emerging practices that help keep children in safe, loving families across the continent.

✅ Showcase proven models that strengthen families and prevent unnecessary child separation.
✅ Inform and guide practitioners, policymakers, and partners across Africa.
✅ Advocate for care reform that ensures every child grows up in a safe, stable, and nurturing family.

Together, we are building evidence to inspire change and strengthen the movement for family-based care.

At Victory CHILD Empowerment, we believe that the role of family, especially the bond between parents and children, is the foundation of safe and nurturing care. From the earliest years, children don’t just hear, they feel love, safety, and presence. That’s why our work in care reform is centered on keeping children within families, strengthening parental bonds, and empowering caregivers with the skills they need to raise children in environments where they thrive.

Together, let’s build a community where every child grows up in safe, loving, and empowered families.

The Court Users Committees (CUCs) play a crucial role as bridges between the Judiciary, government agencies, and communities in advancing Kenya’s Care Reform agenda. By making the justice system more child-sensitive, promoting family- and community-based care over institutionalization, ensuring timely resolution of cases, and holding duty bearers accountable, CUCs directly support the implementation of the Children Act, 2022 and the Care Reform Strategy (2022–2032). We are grateful to Solidaarisuus / International Solidarity Foundation-Kenya ISF for inviting our CEO Obed Masese Makori, Victory CHILD EmpowermentVICTORY CHILD EMPOWERMENT (VCE), to facilitate on care reform, highlighting the progress made, the challenges faced, and the pivotal role of CUCs in actualizing the 2032 vision.

The closure of St. Peter's Orthodox Orphanage in Kisii County following allegations of defilement highlights the urgent need for care reform in Kenya.

This orphanage, which housed 16 children, was operating illegally and unregistered. Such cases highlight the importance of shifting away from institutional care and prioritizing family - and community-based care, as outlined in Kenya’s National Care Reform Strategy (2022–2032).

At Victory CHILD Empowerment, we believe no child should ever be placed in harm’s way. Children belong in safe, loving families, not in institutions.

We call on communities, caregivers, and leaders to foster vulnerable children and provide them with the protection and nurturing every child deserves.

Together, let's stand against child exploitation and ensure every child grows up in a safe, family-like environment.

Just like the resurrection plant, a child in institutional care can appear withdrawn, lifeless, and closed off. But with the nurturing environment of a loving family they spring back to life.

Family-based care transforms children: from isolation to connection, and from survival to thriving.
