Nothing more important

5/1/2023

We ran into Nyamah Dunbar of Liberia during GBGM's conference with the African Bishops in Mozambique and she graciously agreed to be interviewed on the crucial role of tracing families for individuals separated from them. Additional footage from this key interview is sure to be included in the 'Root Of It All', a documentary releasing next year that follows the journey of George Kulanda and David Musa, two social workers from Sierra Leone, as they shed light on the foundational importance of family across Africa.

What You Cannot Do Alone, You Can greatly Influence, if you choose.

In the spirit of our core values of Radical Faith, Radical Courage, and Radical Trust, in 2022, Helping Children Worldwide asked ourselves what more we could do to end the global family separation crisis. We have been sharing the experience of our partnership with the Child Reintegration Centre in Sierra Leone for years, and finding that alone had made a huge impact. The more we tell that story, the more people who show up to help. That is why we made a bold suggestion to our friends at First Fruit, that they underwrite a documentary on the story of transforming global orphan care to family permanency models. They agreed.

We assembled a team of filmmakers, social workers and global change leaders to make the documentary and in 2023, our incredible filmmaking team took to the road, gathering stories and interviewing orphanage directors, program managers, policy-makers, families and social workers, getting to The Root of It All!

This is our unfolding story.

The Root of It All

FIRMLY ROOTED!
