le Purpose
Family Care First (FCF)|REACT, facilitated by Save the Children, is a multi-donor supported network of organizations working together to support children in Cambodia to live in safe, nurturing family-based care. FCF|REACT works collaboratively with the government, local and international NGOs, academic institutions and UN agencies, to promote and strengthen family-based care. With approximately 60 member organizations, some of whom are funded, FCF|REACT is working to prevent children from being separated from their families and increase the number of children that are safely and successfully integrated into family care.
