Open Home Foundation International is a non-denominational Christian organisation that works to ensure children everywhere can belong to a family where they are safe and loved, receive good health care and a good education and know that God loves them.
OHFI bases its mission on its vision
Children everywhere will enjoy their God-given right to belong to a family where they know they are precious, safe and loved. Families, especially poor and broken families, will be surrounded by a network of love which will empower them to develop strong and nurturing relationships with their children. Wherever possible children will grow with their own immediate or wider family where there is commitment to their nurture, security and wellbeing.
OUR STORY
Ewen and Gillian Laurenson established Open Home Foundation (OHF) in Wellington New Zealand in 1977 to provide care and protection services for children and young people at risk of neglect and abuse. Services included social work, foster care, kinship care, counselling and parent education. Subsequently, OHF launched and grew in 14 centres around New Zealand.
In 1991 Open Home Foundation International (OHFI) set in motion when people from Manipur in Northeast India requested OHF New Zealand’s (OHFNZ) assistance with the care of impoverished children.
Early 2000, OHFI and OHFNZ became distinct operations after more countries began asking for assistance. OHFI has its origins in OHFNZ and linked through a common history. Today they are independent charitable trusts with their own boards and governance, working in India, Romania and in a number of African countries.
