Home’s for Children
Our model at mattaw is not a traditional orphanage. Our vision is to give the children placed in our care a family. Children are placed in our care through local government children’s offices. We have a team of social workers who assess each case and create a plan based on their need. For children who can not return to a safe home with relatives or good samaritans, they are placed in a family on our site. Our model consists of small family units. Each family has their own house with a father, mother, and 10-14 children.
