Save A Life

Families For Children (FFC) 
 is an organization committed to “Helping Children and Women in India…” (Families For Children, 2012). It uses the many programs it offers as social work methods to bring hope and rehabilitation to each special care child and adult.



Families For Children’s orphanage was founded in 1971 by Sandra Simpson of Montreal Canada. Currently, the orphanage is being switched into a special care home instead of an orphanage. FFC officially stopped the adoption process in March 2011 because Sandra wanted to focus solely on special care. This switch was decided because special care homes are much more needed in India. 


In fact, not one special care child has ever been adopted from an Indian (Festus, Families for Children Interview, February 2, 2012). 

The Special Care Center is a center for children who are mentally and or physically handicapped. These children have a wide span of severe special medical needs. Some suffer from blindness, post-polio, HIV, speech problems from cleft lips, cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, deafness, and skin diseases (Families For Children, 2012).
Help FFC continue to save lives!
