Summary:

Family is the best place for a child to grow and develop. Every child has a right to loving and caring family. In family children develop their personality get love, care, affection and protective environment. Alternative care is a community-based arrangement of care for orphans and other vulnerable children who are not under the custody of their biological parents.
