ARK is an international charity, whose purpose is to transform children’s lives. ARK has developed a strong results-driven model to identify, create and deliver innovative programmes that are transformative, scalable and sustainable. Programmes are based on demonstrable evidence showing need, high impact, quality of execution and measurable outcomes. ARK is closing detrimental institutions across Eastern Europe, moving children into family focused environments and preventing more children from entering institutional care, while developing a range of alternative care systems to ensure the best care for each child. ARK works to prevent children being abandoned in order to halt the inflow of children into institutions.
