With the support of many donors, co-workers and volunteers, our organisation has plans to grow to help children all over the world.

The Mother - Each child has a caring parent
The mother builds a close relationship with every child entrusted to her. With her charity she provides the security, love and stability that each child needs so much. As a child-care professional, she lives together with the children, guides their development and runs her household independently. She recognises and respects each child's family background, cultural routs and religion.

Brothers and Sisters - Family ties grow naturally
Girls and boys of different ages live together as brothers and sisters, with natural brothers and sisters always staying within the same ABAY family. These children and their ABAY mother build emotional ties that last a lifetime.

The House - Each family creates its own home
The house is the family's home, with its own unique feeling, rhythm and routine. Under its roof, children enjoy a real sense of security, charity and belonging. Children grow and learn together, sharing responsibilities and all the joys and sorrows of daily life.
