The aim of this conference is to raise international awareness and encourage global cooperation to share best practices to help orphaned children.

The enormous impact of over 150 million orphaned and abandoned children (Unicef) on the world population is heavily under-estimated and needs immediate international action.

Internatioanl Advocates for Children (IAC) estimates that the number of orphaned children will grow by almost a quarter billion orphans in the next 10 years.

IAC will open up regional research offices in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America and Europe for research on orphaned children.
