Lily Orphan Care Centers

Realizing that they could make an immediate difference in the lives of children remaining in China’s orphanages, Josh & Lily established CCAI’s first Lily Orphan Care Center (LOCC) in Hangzhou, China in 2001.

CCAI believes that the most effective way to change the lives of orphans was to bring salt and light to already-established orphanages.  LOCCs serve as a powerful force to bring positive changes to orphanages and elevate orphan care conditions through leadership development, caretaker training, child-centered care philosophy and management, and upgraded care facilities and equipment. Their child-centered philosophy has helped elevate childcare standards in Chinese orphanages in the past two decades.

Since it’s conception, we have built nine LOCCs within existing orphanages, and hundreds of orphans’ physical and emotional health has improved dramatically. Once the child care standards and general practices have been well-improved through LOCC training and modeling, our LOCC operation within the orphanage is gradually phased out.

Operating LOCCs can be expensive. Please consider helping CCAI maintain a high standard of orphan care by contributing to these life-changing projects. Should you like to specify your donation, you can choose between covering some operational costs, sponsoring a child, donating to the general needs of these special children, or even helping to defray the cost of medical treatments.
