Governments around the world are grappling with the disintegration of the social structures that support children, and are ill-equipped to provide effectively for the nurturance and economic support that raising children requires. Given the complexities of funding, failures of institutionalization, and generation of new alternative care methods, in the transition to support vulnerable children – could social impact bonds be a powerful solution? Join us to share your experiences and hear from field partners working in East Africa to explore new models to support children and families, and bring donors, NGOs, governments, and investors to build the infrastructure to do so.
