KIDSAVE IS ALSO A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE UKRAINE NATIONAL MENTORING ASSOCIATION, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2018 TO IMPLEMENT KIDSAVE'S PROGRAMS IN UKRAINE. DESPITE THE ONGOING WAR, KIDSAVE CONTINUE TO OPERATE TWO CORE KIDSAVE INITIATIVES OPERATE IN UKRAINE IN 2024: KIDSAVE'S PATHWAY TO SUCCESS PROGRAM - A CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL MENTORING AND CAREER-READINESS PROGRAM FOR OLDER YOUTH AGING OUT OF CARE; AND KIDSAVE'S FAMILY VISIT PROGRAM - HELPING PLACE OLDER ORPHANED AND ABANDONED CHILDREN FROM INSTITUTIONS TO FAMILY CARE. IN DECEMBER 2022 KIDSAVE OPENED A REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE IN UKRAINE AS A SUBDIVISION OF KIDSAVE INTERNATIONAL. THE OFFICE IS LOCATED AT THE KIDSAVE MIRACLES CENTER IN THE CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS IN WESTERN UKRAINE. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION IS CARRIED OUT BY THE UKRAINE NATIONAL MENTORING ASSOCIATION (ANDM), A UKRAINIAN NGO CO-FOUNDED BY KIDSAVE IN 2018. KIDSAVE PROVIDES STAFF, TRAINING, FINANCIAL RESOURCES, AND OVERSIGHT TO SUPPORT ANDM IN DELIVERING ITS CORE FAMILY PLACEMENT AND MENTORING PROGRAMS. TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE (279) TEENS PARTICIPATED IN PATHWAY TO SUCCESS, A CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL MENTORING PROGRAM FUNDED IN LARGE PART SINCE 2018 BY THE BOEING CORPORATION. IN 2024, ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE (145) OF THE YOUTH IN THE PATHWAY TO SUCCESS PROGRAM PARTICIPATED IN THE "TAKING FLIGHT WITH BOEING" PROJECT, A YEAR-LONG MENTORING PROJECT WITH AIMED TO TEACH YOUTH ABOUT AVIATION, BUILD THEIR SELF-CONFIDENCE AND RELATIONSHIP SKILLS. ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR (144) BOEING EMPLOYEES TOOK PART ON THE PROJECT. KIDSAVE'S HUMANITARIAN INITIATIVE, ANGELS OF HOPE, DELIVERED 603 TONS OF AID IN 2024, REACHING OVER 21,000 PEOPLE. SINCE THE WAR BEGAN, 30,000 INDIVIDUALS, HALF OF THEM CHILDREN, WERE EVACUATED TO SAFETY. KIDSAVE ALSO SUPPORTED THE CHILDREN AND FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER IN MYKOLAIV, WHICH PROVIDED WEEKLY TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE TO MORE THAN 500 INTERNALLY DISPLACED CHILDREN AND THEIR MOTHERS.IN 2022 A KIDSAVE UKRAINIAN PARTNER ORGANIZATION RECEIVED A DONATION OF 4.5 ACRES OF LAND IN THE CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS, WHERE THE KIDSAVE MIRACLES CENTER WAS CONSTRUCTED. THE CENTER BECAME PARTIALLY OPERATIONAL IN JULY 2024, HOSTING ITS FIRST GROUP OF 43 WAR-AFFECTED CHILDREN. OF THOSE, 29 RECEIVED TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE AND 21 WERE PLACED IN PERMANENT FAMILIES. DURING THE WINTER HOLIDAYS, 21 CHILDREN FROM MYKOLAIV WERE HOSTED AT THE CENTER FOR THEIR SAFETY, RESULTING IN THE SUCCESSFUL PLACEMENT OF A SIBLING GROUP OF SIX. THE CENTER IS DESIGNED AS A MULTI-USE FACILITY WITH HOUSING, TRAINING AREAS, A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, AND RECREATIONAL SPACE. IN 2024, NINE TRAININGS WERE HELD AT THE KIDSAVE MIRACLES CENTER, AND TEN ADDITIONAL TRAININGS ON KIDSAVE MODEL PROGRAMS WERE HELD ACROSS OTHER REGIONS OF UKRAINE.IN JULY 2024 KIDSAVE'S CEO AND ANDM REPRESENTATIVES MET WITH NATIONAL AND REGIONAL UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO INTRODUCE KIDSAVE'S FAMILY PLACEMENT AND MENTORING MODELS. THIS RESULTED IN THE SIGNING OF A MEMORANDUM OF COOPERATION WITH UKRAINE'S STATE CHILDREN'S SERVICES.COLOMBIAKIDSAVE'S FAMILY VISIT PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT'S EFFORTS TO PRIORITIZE FAMILY-BASED CARE. IN 2018, FUNDACIN APEGO, A COLOMBIAN NGO SUPPORTED BY KIDSAVE, BECAME INDEPENDENT FROM KIDSAVE AND HAS CONTINUED TO LEAD KIDSAVE'S FAMILY VISIT/SUPER AMIGOS AND MAMA MENTORA PROGRAMS. FUNDACIN APEGO SPECIALIZES IN PROTECTING CHILDREN'S RIGHTS AND SUPPORTING VULNERABLE FAMILIES TO PREVENT CHILD ABANDONMENT. KIDSAVE CONTINUES TO COLLABORATE BY OFFERING TRAINING AND SUPPORT, REINFORCING A SHARED COMMITMENT TO SECURING PERMANENT FAMILIES, MENTORSHIP, AND LIFE SKILLS FOR OLDER ORPHANED AND ABANDONED YOUTH. AFRICAIN SIERRA LEONE, KIDSAVE PARTNERS WITH INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES (IDI) TO TRANSITION CHILDREN OUT OF ORPHANAGES, WITH A FOCUS ON REUNIFICATION WITH KIN OR PLACEMENT WITH NEW FAMILIES WHEN KINSHIP CARE IS NOT POSSIBLE. KIDSAVE'S SIERRA LEONE PROGRAM MOVES CHILDREN OUT OF ORPHANAGES AND, WHENEVER POSSIBLE, REUNITES THEM WITH EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS (KIN). IDI IDENTIFIES FAMILIES THROUGH FAMILY TRACING, CASE MINING AND COMMUNITY EVENTS FOR OLDER ORPHANS WHO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE LIVING RELATIVES WHO COULD RAISE THEM. ONCE FAMILIES ARE FOUND, IDI MONITORS PLACEMENTS AND PROVIDES POST-PLACEMENT SUPPORT. MOST OF THE CHILDREN SERVED BY THE SIERRA LEONE PROGRAM LOST THEIR PARENTS DURING THE EBOLA OUTBREAK. IDI'S SERVICES INCLUDE FAMILY TRACING, CASE MINING, CAREGIVER TRAINING, AND MONITORING AT 1-, 3-, AND 6-MONTH INTERVALS. KIDSAVE ALSO PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND COVERS FEES WHEN NEEDED. IN 2024, TWO HUNDRED TEN (210) CHILDREN WERE PLACED WITH KIN OR NEW FAMILIES ACROSS 48 COMMUNITIES IN SIERRA LEONE AND ONE COMMUNITY IN LIBERIA. SEVEN HUNDRED (700) CAREGIVERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND STAKEHOLDERS WERE TRAINED IN CHILDREN'S RIGHTS AND CARE, AND HOW TO MONITOR AND PROTECT THEM. NINETY-EIGHT (98) INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED TRAINING IN CASE MONITORING AND REPORTING ON INSTANCES OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT. GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION CLUBS WERE ESTABLISHED IN 18 SCHOOLS. KIDSAVE PROVIDED FUNDING TO IDI TO MAKE REVOLVING MICRO-LOANS TO 84 FAMILIES WHO TOOK IN CHILDREN IN 2024. THESE MICRO-LOANS HELP SUPPORT THEIR SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENSURE THEIR FINANCIAL SECURITY AFTER TAKING IN A CHILD. LOAN REPAYMENT AT THE END OF 2024 WAS 98%, AND PROCEEDS FROM LOAN REPAYMENT WERE USED TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM TO HELP MORE FAMILIES. FAMILIES ALSO RECEIVED SCHOOL SUPPLIES, BEDDING, AND 50 KG OF RICE. SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2010, KIDSAVE'S SIERRA LEONE PROGRAM HAS HELPED 1,580 CHILDREN FIND SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE HOMES. 1433639 WEEKEND MIRACLESKIDSAVE'S WEEKEND MIRACLES PROGRAM HELPS OLDER KIDS AND TEENS IN FOSTER CARE (AGES 9-18) FIND HOST FAMILIES, PERMANENT FAMILIES, AND ENDURING MENTORS. THESE CHILDREN HAVE OFTEN SPENT YEARS IN THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM, WITH LITTLE REALISTIC HOPE OF ADOPTION OR STABLE ADULT CONNECTION. WEEKEND MIRACLES PROVIDES THESE YOUTH WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE WILLING TO HOST, MENTOR, OR ADOPT THEM. AT THE CORE OF THE WEEKEND MIRACLES PROGRAM ARE MONTHLY INTERACTIVE EVENTS, WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE IT EASY AND FUN FOR OLDER CHILDREN AND TEENS IN FOSTER CARE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE. THIS APPROACH INCREASES ENGAGEMENT, BUILDS SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM, AND GIVES YOUTH AGENCY IN THEIR PERMANENCY JOURNEY. ONCE INTERESTED FAMILIES AND KIDS MEET AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AT KIDSAVE'S MONTHLY CONNECTION EVENTS, RELATIONSHIPS DEVELOP NATURALLY. YOUTH WHO ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTION ARE MATCHED WITH HOST FAMILIES WHO EITHER HOPE TO ADOPT, OR WORK WITH KIDSAVE TO FIND FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING AN OLDER CHILD. YOUTH WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ADOPTION ARE MATCHED WITH A CARING HOST MENTOR WHO PROVIDES SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE. IN SOME CASES, HOST FAMILIES GO ON TO ADOPT THE CHILDREN THEY HOST, WHILE OTHERS SERVE AS CATALYSTS- SUPPORTING THE YOUTH AT EVENTS AND INTRODUCING THEM TO POTENTIAL ADOPTIVE FAMILIES WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. REGARDLESS OF THE PATH, THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF WEEKEND MIRACLES IS TO CREATE LASTING, SUPPORTIVE ADULT CONNECTIONS FOR OLDER YOUTH WHO ARE AT RISK OF AGING OUT OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM WITHOUT A FAMILY. BY PROVIDING STRUCTURED OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH TO MEET ADULTS IN A NATURAL AND RELATIONAL SETTING, KIDSAVE REMOVES THE BARRIERS THAT OFTEN PREVENT OLDER YOUTH FROM FINDING PERMANENT HOMES OR COMMITTED MENTORS. LOS ANGELES COUNTYWEEKEND MIRACLES LOS ANGELES (WMLA) IS A PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, LAUNCHED IN OCTOBER 2005 BETWEEN KIDSAVE AND THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES (DCFS). IN 2024 WMLA HOSTED MONTHLY CONNECTION EVENTS, SERVING 79 KIDS. SIXTY-NINE (69) OF THESE YOUTH ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN THE LOS ANGELES PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THIRTY-THREE (33) OF THE 69 (48%) YOUTH HAVE ACHIEVED LEGAL OR RELATIONAL PERMANENCY; 12 YOUTH (36%) ENTERED INTO AN ADOPTIVE MATCH; 3 YOUTH (9%) NOW HAVE LEGAL GUARDIANS; 6 YOUTH (18%) WERE REUNIFIED WITH BIOLOGICAL FAMILY AND 12 YOUTH (36%) WERE CONNECTED WITH A MENTOR. SINCE OCTOBER 2005 WHEN WMLA WAS LAUNCHED, 645 OLDER FOSTER YOUTH HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROGRAM. SEVENTY-ONE PERCENT (71%) OF THE FOSTER YOUTH WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN WMLA HAVE FOUND ADOPTIVE FAMILIES, DEVOTED MENTORS, OR LEGAL GUARDIANS. HOUSTONWEEKEND MIRACLES HOUSTON (WMH) HOSTED ITS FIRST CONNECTION EVENT IN OCTOBER 2020. SINCE THEN, 150 CHILDREN AND TEENS HAVE BEEN SERVED BY THIS PROGRAM. IN 2024 WMH SERVED 61 FOSTER YOUTH, 42 OF WHOM REMAINED ACTIVE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SIXTY PERCENT (60%) OF THE ACTIVE YOUTH WERE CONNECTED TO WEEKEND HOSTS, ADOPTIVE MATCHES, LEGAL GUARDIANS, OR NON-RELATED EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS. IN 2024, WMH HELD 15 IN-PERSON CONNECTION EVENTS. THE CHILDREN SERVED BY WMH IN 2024 COME FROM MORE THAN 19 COUNTIES ACROSS TEXAS, SPANNING EIGHT DFPS REGIONS. VIRGINIAIN 2024 KIDSAVE OFFICIALLY EXPANDED ITS WEEKEND MIRACLES PROGRAM INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA. THANKS TO A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, KIDSAVE NOW SERVES OLDER YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA. WE HELD OUR INAUGURAL EVENT IN SPOTSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA IN DECEMBER 2024, SERVING OUR FIRST TWO VIRGINIA FOSTER YOUTH AND THREE FAMILIES. 470914 24000 SUMMER AND WINTER MIRACLESKIDSAVE'S SUMMER MIRACLES PROGRAM BRINGS OLDER CHILDREN (AGES 9-15) FROM COLOMBIA-WHO ARE UNLIKELY TO BE ADOPTED IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY-TO THE UNITED STATES FOR FAMILY HOSTING VISITS. THESE CHILDREN TYPICALLY RESIDE IN INSTITUTIONAL OR FOSTER CARE AND HAVE NO PROSPECTS OF REUNIFICATION WITH BIOLOGICAL FAMILY MEMBERS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES THESE CHILDREN WITH A RICH CULTURAL EXPERIENCE AND A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH FAMILIES WHO ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTION. DURING THEIR VISIT, CHILDREN STAY WITH AMERICAN HOST FAMILIES WHO ADVOCATE FOR THEM BY ENGAGING THEIR COMMUNITIES AND PERSONAL NETWORKS TO HELP IDENTIFY PROSPECTIVE ADOPTIVE FAMILIES. WHILE THE CHILDREN ENJOY RECREATIONAL AND BONDING ACTIVITIES, THE PRIMARY GOAL IS TO FIND EACH CHILD A PERMANENT, LOVING FAMILY. IN 2024 KIDSAVE FACILITATED BOTH SUMMER AND WINTER MIRACLES PROGRAMS, BRINGING A TOTAL OF 38 CHILDREN FROM COLOMBIA TO THE U.S. OF THE 38 CHILDREN WHO TRAVELED, 36 WERE FOUND TO BE READY FOR ADOPTION. OF THE 36 CHILDREN WHO WERE OPEN TO ADOPTION, 34 CHILDREN (94%) HAVE BEEN ADOPTED OR HAVE A FAMILY PURSUING THEIR ADOPTION. SINCE THE PROGRAM'S LAUNCH IN 1999, TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-EIGHT (2,188) OLDER CHILDREN HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROGRAM. IN ADVANCE OF THE VISITS, KIDSAVE WORKS CLOSELY WITH COLOMBIA'S CHILD WELFARE AGENCY, INSTITUTO COLOMBIANO DE BIENESTAR FAMILIAR (ICBF), TO IDENTIFY CHILDREN SUITABLE FOR THE PROGRAM. KIDSAVE ALSO RECRUITS AND TRAINS AMERICAN HOST FAMILIES, FACILITATING VIRTUAL PRE-VISIT INTRODUCTIONS VIA ZOOM. WHILE IN THE U.S., THE CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN MANY "FIRSTS"- FUN EVENTS AND OUTINGS INCLUDING AMUSEMENT PARKS, SWIMMING, BOWLING, SPORTS GAMES, AND OTHER EXPERIENCES THAT HELP BUILD TRUST AND CONNECTION WITH THEIR HOST FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. AFTER RETURNING TO COLOMBIA, KIDSAVE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT ADOPTIVE FAMILIES AND COLLABORATES WITH PARTNER ADOPTION AGENCIES TO ENSURE CONTINUITY AND SUPPORT. IN 2024 KIDSAVE'S HOSTING COMMUNITIES WERE LED BY VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS IN THE NEW YORK TRI-STATE AREA, DC METRO AREA, MINNESOTA (TWIN CITIES), SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND OTHER COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE U.S. ALL COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, HOST FAMILIES, AND KIDSAVE STAFF CHAMPIONED EACH CHILD TO FIND THEM AN ADOPTIVE FAMILY. IN ADDITION TO THE CHILDREN HOSTED IN SUMMER AND WINTER MIRACLES COMMUNITIES, THESE CHILDREN ARE PLACED WITH HOST FAMILIES IN CITIES THROUGHOUT THE CONTINENTAL U.S. OVER TIME, THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT HAS ADOPTED KIDSAVE'S FAMILY VISIT HOSTING MODEL AS ITS PRIMARY STRATEGY FOR FINDING FAMILIES FOR OLDER, HARD-TO-PLACE YOUTH. OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, MORE THAN 65 PLACEMENT AGENCIES AND NONPROFIT PARTNERS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN HOSTING INITIATIVES MODELED AFTER KIDSAVE'S PROGRAM. 1723440 THE EMBRACE PROJECTKIDSAVE LAUNCHED THE EMBRACE PROJECT IN 2022 TO ADDRESS THE OVERREPRESENTATION OF BLACK CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND BEGIN TO ADDRESS THIS OVERREPRESENTATION, KIDSAVE COLLABORATED WITH THE GALLUP CENTER ON BLACK VOICES ON A SURVEY. OUR REPORT, AMERICANS' VIEWS OF U.S. FOSTER CARE: ELEVATING BLACK AMERICANS' PERSPECTIVES & EXPERIENCES, PUBLISHED IN 2023, IDENTIFIED THE TOP PERCEIVED BARRIERS THAT KEEP ADULTS FROM MENTORING, FOSTERING, OR ADOPTING CHILDREN FROM FOSTER CARE. WITH THIS DATA, KIDSAVE LAUNCHED A COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS REGARDING THE OVERREPRESENTATION OF BLACK CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, THE TRUTH BEHIND COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT MENTORING, FOSTERING, AND ADOPTING KIDS IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT MAKE THESE ACTIVITIES ACCESSIBLE. IN 2024 WE PUBLISHED SUPPLEMENTARY REPORTS TO THE ORIGINAL KIDSAVE-GALLUP STUDY. WE ALSO PUBLISHED SECONDARY ANALYSIS REPORTS FROM THE 2023 KIDSAVE-GALLUP STUDY FOCUSED ON SURVEY RESPONSES FROM ADULTS IN CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS, THE LGBT COMMUNITY, AND THE HISPANIC/LATINX COMMUNITY. WHILE THE EMBRACE PROJECT WAS INSPIRED BY A NEED TO ADDRESS THE OVERREPRESENTATION OF BLACK KIDS IN CARE, OUR FINDINGS SUPPORT THE NEED TO ADDRESS BARRIERS TO MENTORING, FOSTERING, AND ADOPTING CHILDREN OF ALL BACKGROUNDS. TO ADDRESS THESE FINDINGS, KIDSAVE DEVELOPED A PILOT CULTURAL RESPONSIVENESS TRAINING PROGRAM TO PROVIDE FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE FAMILIES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO CARE FOR CHILDREN OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND NAVIGATE HISTORICAL CHALLENGES WITHIN THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM. LAUNCHED IN 2024, THIS TRAINING IS NOW MANDATORY FOR ALL NEW KIDSAVE FAMILIES IN OUR WEEKEND MIRACLES PROGRAMS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, HOUSTON, AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA. COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPSIN 2024 IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, KIDSAVE WAS ACTIVE IN SEVERAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE SECTOR COMMITTEES THAT ADDRESS PERMANENCY FOR LOS ANGELES COUNTY FOSTER YOUTH, WHICH INCLUDE: (1) THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY ADOPTION CONSORTIUM, (2) THE PERMANENCY COLLABORATION COMMITTEE, (3) CASA OF LOS ANGELES, (4) FOSTERALL; (5) FOSTER TOGETHER NETWORK (FTN); (6) FTN'S EQUITY COMMITTEE; (7) FOSTERMORE; AND (8) RAISEACHILD.
