They work with Father's House International (FHI), incorporated as CAIRD, which is a Canadian-based charity making an impact in the relief of poverty by assisting orphaned and abandoned children in Romania and South Africa.

Father’s House International are not your typical orphanage. They don't have a large facility with many children and care givers who work in shifts. They place our children with committed families in their own countries. The children are raised by a loving mother and father. The children go to school, play with neighbours and help with chores. The children grow up knowing what it is like to be part of a family. Father’s House International provide educational assistance, nutritional counselling, medical support and even parenting classes in order to help these children to grow up to be strong, healthy, contributing members of their community. Their goal is to teach these children what it means to be part of a healthy family so that as adults they can break the cycles of abuse and abandonment and raise children in healthy families of their own.
