Transition Program

What Happens When They Turn 18?

Most orphanages stop at the door. We walk them through it — and stay by their side as they build independent, successful lives.

18

The age everything changes

We don't just raise children. We launch adults.

The Crisis No One Talks About

In most orphanages around the world, children "age out" at 18 with nothing. No job. No housing. No family. No skills. Studies show that 80% of aged-out orphans end up homeless, incarcerated, or trafficked within two years.

We refuse to let that happen to our children.

Our Philosophy

Transition, Not Abandonment

We prepare our children for independence years before they turn 18 — and we stay connected long after.

Start Early

Transition preparation begins at age 14, not 17. We have years to teach life skills, build confidence, and help each child discover their path.

Individual Plans

Every child gets a personalized transition plan based on their interests, abilities, and goals. Some will become doctors. Others will be electricians.

Gradual Independence

We don't push children out at midnight on their 18th birthday. The transition is gradual — more responsibility, more freedom over time.

Lifetime Connection

Our alumni are family forever. We provide ongoing mentorship, emergency support, and a place to come home to. Always.

Every child learns the practical skills they'll need to thrive on their own.
