Artwork from Foster Children showcasing their playful aspirations and dreams

For situations where children are unable to remain at home, and there are no suitable relatives or family friends who can take care of the children, there are two main types of out-of-home care options in Singapore – foster care and residential care.

1) Foster Care

We believe that family-based care is better for children as they are provided with personalised care and attention. We hope more foster parents will step forward so that more children can be cared for in a nurturing and loving home environment.

2) Residential Care

Residential Care provided by Children’s Homes (CH) is an alternative option to family-based care. CHs provide shelter for children in need, as well as children or young persons in conflict with the law.
