Healing Homes
LWB's Healing Homes Program helps orphaned children with serious medical issues needing specialized care. These children are extremely vulnerable, due to being born with medical needs that often cannot be met in an institutional setting. LWB's healing homes are staffed with specially trained nannies who devote their time to the careful nurturing of these children.
Heartbridge Healing Home
Our Heartbridge Healing Home facility, located inside the New Hope Foundation in Beijing, was our very first healing home, opened in 2006. This home is dedicated to helping some of China's most medically fragile orphaned children. These children are provided specialized care to allow them to gain weight and strength before life-saving operations, as well as a safe and loving environment to recover from complex surgeries. The children are monitored closely by medical staff and receive the highest level of care available.
Anhui Healing Home
Through our medical work in China, we have realized that orphaned children born with cleft lip and palate often fail to thrive due to their inability to feed properly. In 2008 LWB opened its Anhui Cleft Healing Home, welcoming babies born with cleft needs into a safe and warm environment. In 2011 this healing home expanded to begin helping children with other medical conditions and became our Anhui Healing Home.
Henan Healing Home
An additional healing home, the Henan Healing Home, opened in 2009 and continues to concentrate on providing nurturing care and surgeries for cleft-affected children in one of China's poorest provinces. Our specially trained nannies devote their time to the careful feeding of the children, and cleft surgeries are provided as soon as the children are strong and healthy enough.
True Children's Healing Home
The True Children's Healing Home opened in late 2010 and serves children with cleft and other medical needs. As with our other healing homes, this home has specially trained nannies to nurture children and provide them the opportunity to grow, gain strength, receive surgeries, and recover in a safe, loving environment.
You can make a difference in the life of a child through a one-time or ongoing donation to our healing homes program or by sponsoring a child. Sponsors will receive monthly updates and photos.
