More information
The Good Rock Foundation was established in 1997 when we first visited China's orphanages and were given opportunities to help improve conditions for some of the children there. Since then we established trusting relations with the authorities, working with them on joint ventures to develop long-term sustainable projects that would offer more help to the children, as well as encourage the child carers in their challenging task and offer life beyond existence in an institution. We believe that with our philosophy of care and a mutually respectful relationship with China's social services we can address the issues that are at the root of the plight of China's abandoned children. We advocate foster family care, provide caregiver training, bring help to disabled & sick children & in recent years have been developing opportunities for the orphan children who are growing up. We invest in child-carer training so that the children receive the nurturing they need for a healthy, happy childhood and the local orphanage workers receive the encouragement they need to meet the challenges of their work. We respect the culture we work in and the people working alongside of us. These people have surmounted many obstacles in many difficult decades, what is needed now is help them to help themselves.
