• Vision

LANS vision is “A society where all children have equal chances to a dignified growth, regardless of their circumstances at birth”

Mission:

to ensure that all vulnerable children; at risk of abandonment or neglect, have a chance to enjoy love, care and harmony in a family.

LANS is founded on the principles of the best interests and rights of the child as enshrined in the Kenya’s Children’s Act, 2001. Its fundamental principles are guided by a strong belief that children’s needs are better met in a family rather than in an institution.

LANS prioritizes the needs of vulnerable children aged between one and three years. The organization networks existing child service providers in Kenya and enhances their reach through global partnerships.

Where all children have access to care, security and support within a loving home and community.

LANS will focus its resources in three areas:

• Reducing the number of vulnerable children without adequate loving care and support,
  

• Improving the quality of care and support,
  

• Ensuring a supportive regulatory and media framework for individual and community adoptions.
  

• Promote community adoptions, care and support
  
• Guide legal and policy development on adoption
  
• Encourage improvement in the rehabilitation, development and adoption of disabled orphaned children

 Adoption

• Provide high quality adoption services in Kenya through strategic networks of local and international child serving organizations.
• Increase the capacity of local communities to retain vulnerable children
