What is Foster Care?
Foster care involves providing temporary, safe, secure, and nurturing homes for mokopuna (children and young people) in need.
Fostering in Aotearoa New Zealand is more than just providing a roof over a child’s head. It plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children in distressing situations. By offering a nurturing home environment, foster parents can help these children overcome their past challenges and achieve their full potential.
