We exist so that innocent children who are subjected to difficult and painful experiences can be supported to live safely with respect, hope and love. AATC Is a direct care organisation and advocates for the rights of children who live in extreme adversity. We currently operate in India, South Africa and Ghana where the statistics are horrifying: We provide safe loving homes and support for children orphaned, vulnerable to exploitation, affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, rescued from trafficking, abused often sexually and living in child headed households. We believe in a world where children living in extreme adversity can have their lives transformed into a bright future. Caring for children is not a quick fix like drilling a well or a micro loan. It’s a big deal, their little hearts and souls are precious and continuity is important. We provide a sense of community and safety to protect them from the worst of society’s ills. WE SEEK TO PROVIDE: LOVING HOMES, SANCTUARY, SERENITY, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE, JOY, WARMTH, PROTECTION, SAFETY, SECURITY, FAMILY, PRIVACY, EQUALITY, SUSTENANCE, We Help to educate the general public concerning the causes and effects of distress, hardship, abandonment, life as an orphan, trafficked, abused or affected by HIV by directly engaging through events and campaigns. Through these efforts Arms Around The Child can protect more children and provide more loving homes, education, stability, protection and all round care in India and Africa. Sometimes the issues of the world or issues in our own lives seem so huge or overwhelming that we can’t bear it or we may feel inadequate, but we can all participate in a kinder world for children because if not us then who? Help us Build a safe world for kids.
