Every Child Deserves a Family
In post-war Syria, your support helps reunite families, place children in safe homes, and create lasting change.
Bringing Children Back to Family
Child Houses is a Syrian-led, community-rooted organization that walks with children who have been left alone or placed in orphanages — bringing them back to families where they belong. Through family reunification, family-based care, and caregiver support, we make sure no child has to grow up alone. We believe family is the foundation for a child’s development.
Our vision is simple: a Syria where every child grows up safe, loving family.
Our Model
We follow a Syrian-based, holistic approach: placing each child at the center, while surrounding them with strong families, caring communities, and protective systems.
Child at the Center
Every child deserves safety, love, and belonging.
Family as the Foundation
Children grow best in safe, nurturing families.
Communities Who Care
Strong communities help children heal and thrive.
Systems That Protect
Lasting change comes when laws and systems uphold children’s rights.
Our Work
Our programs put this model into action — helping children return to families, supporting caregivers, and building communities and systems that protect every child.
Reunited: Mohammad & Basel
“All I want in this life is to find my mother, and for me and my brother to live with her under one roof.”
For years, brothers Mohammad (11) and Basel (12) lived in an institution for homeless children after losing their father and being separated from their mother, who was imprisoned. Their only dream was to be together again.
Our team searched tirelessly — through relatives, records, and legal hurdles — until we finally found their mother. After weeks of preparation and securing guardianship, the long-awaited reunion came. The boys ran into her arms, clinging to her with tears of relief and joy.
Today, the family is back together, supported to build a safe and stable future. Basel now dreams of becoming a lawyer so that no child will ever have to endure the separation he and Mohammad once did.
