Welcome to Sparrow’s Nest,
where tiny lives find big love

As we do not receive any government grants, we rely on sponsors to help us provide for the children in our care. Your support is crucial to our mission. 

About Sparrow's Nest

Founded amidst the challenges of 2021, Sparrow’s Nest Place of Safety emerged in response to the urgent need for safe havens for voiceless infants. Overwhelmed shelters and the heartbreaking denial of sanctuary to vulnerable babies due to space constraints prompted the creation of a novel solution. Recognizing that many individuals and families possess the compassionate spirit to help but lack the means to foster multiple children simultaneously, a system was developed to screen and register them as temporary places of safety. 

Each participating household selects the age group and number of children they are equipped to care for. These designated homes embrace the entrusted children as their own, providing the essential love and security vital for their growth and development. Ensuring a nurturing environment, these homes offer a sanctuary where children can thrive until they are placed with permanent families, having received the unwavering support and affection they deserve. 

Our Vision

To provide a nurturing home for every child

In biblical context, sparrows symbolize the breadth of the Creator’s love for all of His creation. Despite being often overlooked by humanity, sparrows serve as a poignant reminder that no creature, regardless of size or commonality, lies beyond the sphere of divine care and compassion. This ethos underscores our belief that every infant, irrespective of race, gender, or circumstances, possesses inherent worth and deserves nurturing.

The 4 Development Aspects

Child development refers to the progression of physical, intellectual, social, and emotional changes that children experience as they grow. It encompasses various stages, from infancy through adolescence, and involves learning essential skills like sitting, walking, speaking, and forming relationships.

Physical

Ensuring infants grow strong and healthy through proper nutrition, care, and safe environments.

Emotional

Providing a loving and supportive atmosphere that fosters trust, security, and emotional growth.

Mental

Encouraging cognitive development with stimulating activities, learning tools, and personalised attention.

Social

Promoting positive interactions and social skills through play, engagement, and nurturing relationships.

While direct care may be limited, you can help in many other meaningful ways, such as assisting with household chores, running errands, or preparing meals for the infants. Your involvement is crucial in helping us provide a secure, loving environment where these children can thrive. Together, we can create a brighter future for our most vulnerable.
