Our Belief

Our mission reflects the belief that early intervention is vital in helping children overcome conditions and circumstances which are beyond their control yet impair their ability to lead stable, happy, and productive lives. The Foundation believes, therefore, that its resources are best directed toward programs designed to support children in their early years. We have a particular interest in those which address the needs of children who have  experienced abuse or have suffered other trauma in early childhood.
