BEB envisions a world where every child grows up in a safe, loving family.

the problem

5 million children grow up in institutions, instead of families. Their stories are unknown and unfinished.

Without family, they face increased risks of trafficking, exploitation, and lifelong trauma. With only scattered, paper-based records, they are invisible to the systems meant to protect them.

We are rewriting children's stories, one child at a time.

Powered by Children First Software and a global network of partners, BEB moves children out of institutions and into loving families, transforming child welfare worldwide.
