CARA is UK-based charity which supports children at risk in Asia by providing financial and in-kind support directly to local organisations.

 

Our core values are to only support projects that:

 

• Understand and follow the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

• Base all decisions regarding the children on the best interests of that child above all else.

• Believe that a loving family environment is the best option for children and that institutional care should be a last option only when all others are exhausted.

 

We will never support projects that:

 

• Are not fully transparent in their financial processes.

• Promote any religious or political beliefs.

• Discriminate in any way based on gender, ethnicity or disability.

 

Currently, we work with two organisations on the Thai-Burma border: the Border Health Initiative (BHI), a community organisation run by local Mon people and One Sky Foundation, a registered Thai charity. 

 

We believe that children deserve to be treated with respect and dignity; we follow this value directly in all of our work and in how we communicate it to our supporters. This is why children pictured on this website are presented only in a positive light.
