About Us
A family for every child — through the love of Jesus.
No child belongs in an institution. We come alongside local churches to raise vulnerable children in real homes, with real parents, for the long road of growing up.
Our Mission
We don't build orphanages. We build families.
Kinship Families of Thailand places children who have lost parents, been abandoned, or are at risk into small, church-led households — cared for by trained Home Parents who raise them as their own.
The result is not just shelter, but belonging: a name remembered, a meal shared, a future imagined. Every child deserves a family, and every family deserves support.
The Kinship Model
A circle of care, in four parts.
Each part depends on the others. Together they turn a house into a home that lasts.
01
Churches
Local churches provide spiritual foundation, oversight, and roots that stay long after we do.
02
Home Parents
Compassionate couples open their homes and hearts, raising the children as their own.
03
Children
Children find safety, love, and belonging in a true family environment.
04
Community
Neighbours come alongside to support and encourage every household.
Our Partners
Led by the people who live there.
The work is carried by Thai pastors, Home Parents, and leaders who know their communities, speak the language, and stay for the years it takes to raise a child.
We walk alongside them — so partnership becomes permanence, and permanence becomes a future.
