The Promise of a Future

Strengthening Family and Community Care
for Orphans and Vulnerable Children
in Sub-Saharan Africa

In August 2005, Firelight initiated an advocacy tool that will help inform the public about the importance of investing in community-based responses that strengthen the safety net of family care.

The Promise of a Future: Strengthening Family and Community Care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Sub–Saharan Africa is a joint advocacy tool, published and distributed in collaboration with American Jewish World Service, the Bernard van Leer Foundation, and the Pan African Children’s Fund as well as other foundations engaged in grassroots grantmaking.
