About OneSky for all Children
We partner with communities and governments in Asia to provide young children with responsive care and safe and nurturing learning environments by training, mentoring and supporting the adult caregivers in their lives.
We are passionately focused on meeting the needs of individual children while pursuing the broader goal of helping transform systems of care so that all young children can thrive.
· Since our founding in 1998, OneSky has trained and supported the caregivers of young children in low-resourced communities in Asia, ages 0-8, who have been orphaned, abandoned, left behind, or impacted by migration.
· During our first 20 years, we helped transform the lives of tens of thousands of children’s lives in Chinese welfare institutions by training adults to provide them with nurturing care. Based on that experience, we realized we had a model for supporting vulnerable young children throughout Asia.
· While supporting institutionalized children in mainland China remains at the heart of our work, we have expanded to benefit even more children in need through partnerships with the governments of Vietnam and Mongolia and the opening of the P.C Lee OneSky Global Centre for Early Childhood Development in Hong Kong, SAR.
· We recognize that the needs of all young children are fundamentally the same and that with consistent responsive care and loving attention, children born into even the most difficult circumstances can thrive and be change makers in their communities and the world.
