CFAB
The UK is the most Global of all Western Economies. It is home to countless multi-national business organisations, and literally millions of multi-national personal relationships. Whilst for many of us international borders provide opportunities for travel and discovery, for many children they act as barriers between them and their families.
Children and Families Across Borders (CFAB) is a unique UK-based charity which identifies and protects children who have been separated from family members as a consequence of trafficking, abduction, migration, divorce, conflict and asylum,
CFAB acts as a lifeline to these children. We are the only charity in the UK providing expert advice and guidance, skilled professional services, and emotional support for anyone in these desperate personal circumstances. Our mission is to advocate for these children and vulnerable individuals by ensuring that their best interests are paramount and that their right to family life is respected.
Without our help, many of these children would be ‘placed’ in institutions or left with non-family members, deprived of their right to family life, deprived of any contact with their own relatives, with dramatic consequences to their personal, emotional, cognitive and behavioural development.
This number is growing rapidly and the unfortunate reality is that CFAB cannot meet the full demand for our specialised expertise, but with your help we can.
Help us change these children’s lives forever. For their sake.
