Welcome to Open Home Foundation International (OHFI).

We are a New Zealand-based organisation working to protect and empower vulnerable children and their families around the world. We believe that every child in the world has the right to belong to a home, family and community where they are safe and loved; to receive a good diet, health care, and education; and to know that they are loved by God. We work in communities of all faiths and none.
