Influencing and inspiring change
We seek to influence at a local, national and international level, to change policy, legislation and services that will transform the lives of many more children than we can reach directly.
Badri's story
Badri is ten years old and lives in an institution in Georgia. When his parents left to work in Russia he went to live with his older brother. Soon after his brother joined the army and there was no one left to look after Badri. He was taken to live in a nearby institution.
In Georgia EveryChild helped the government with the development of new childcare standards which are now obligatory for all services providing 24-hour care, including residential institutions. These standards are a huge breakthrough in ensuring that basic requirements are met in services for children without parental care, or at risk of losing parental care. The new standards ensure that the rights of children are recognised and that there is greater emphasis on the development of individual children.
