Beyond the work we do in collaboration with local NGOs in Africa and North America, Helping Children Worldwide collaborates with allies on a global basis. We form trusted alliances to strengthen systems that prevent children from becoming orphaned.
We hold an annual Rising Tides Conference to discuss complex topics, form lasting connections, and galvanize action. We meet regularly with our colleagues in loose collaborations like the community of practice for care reform, movements like Strong Family For Every Child and member alliances like Together for Global Health. We host a podcast – Optimistic Voices, and produce a magazine – Empower, and a blog, to highlight the critical issues and brilliant people who are working to solve them.
We see the impact of global networking in orphanages transforming into family support centers, Rising Tides Global Health producing an annual training seminar to increase lifesaving skills of midwives in Sierra Leone, an orphanage trafficking operation being uncovered after an episode of Optimistic Voices aired on that topic, and TGH members sharing resources and connections to get a seriously ill child lifesaving heart surgery not available in her country.
