OUR MISSION:
To provide comprehensive childcare services for displaced children due to death, separation, abuse, abandonment, illness, or other unfortunate circumstances.
While ensuring that the children’s rights are being protected, we strive to provide a stable and loving environment through education, counseling and mentoring them through their adolescent years in preparation for their transition into adulthood and independence.
To offer our children a place where they can feel safe and secure, but moreover, to provide a place that they can call home.
OUR VISION:
To be the leading non-profit orphan care organization that provides superior services to our children that provides possibilities, opportunities, and dreams for all youths, regardless of their circumstances.
Focusing on the future of our children in empowering them with the “Transitional Home”
experience to assist them with starting their lives independently.
Transitional Home Update:
Phase Two of the Transitional Housing project has raised $208,770.15 of our $365,000 goal for the development of home pods for the young men and women who grew up in child protective services like Ranfurly. Two individual structures, Phase One consisting of two dwellings, and Phase Two consisting of four dwellings that are located on the property grounds of Ranfurly Homes for Children.
Remaining immediate needs: furnishings, appliances, soft goods, and landscaping. Donate today to help us complete Phase Two!
