The Love a Child Foundation (LACF) is a non-profit organisation set up in 2002 to support children who are abandoned, abused, exploited, refugee or orphaned.

Originally helping Tibetan refugee children living in Northern India, LACF has now expanded to include children in Burma (Myanmar) and Ecuador.

The main aim of the charity is to find ‘sponsor parents’ for its children; providing them with food, clothing, education and care – as well as the comfort in knowing that someone cares.

Public donations are welcomed – these are used for infrastructure projects such as the building of school rooms, dormitories, toilets and washing blocks; as well as for providing necessary medical and school equipment.

Thanks to a pioneering scheme, the running costs of the organisation will soon be funded by private donors (‘Foundation Angels’), allowing 100% of sponsorship and public donations to reach the children.

LACF is about to launch a major awareness raising campaign, and is looking for offers of help or assistance. If you would like to help by organising an event in your area, or you would like more information on becoming a ‘Foundation Angel’, please contact director Lynne Carrjones on (0034) 952 515 224 or log on The Love A Child Foundation.
