New Study from Alliance for Children Everywhere Highlights Long-Term Benefits of Family Care for Vulnerable Children

11/5/2020

GHR partner, Zambia-based Alliance for Children Everywhere (ACE), along with Christian Alliance for Children Zambia, have published a comparative study out of Lusaka highlighting positive outcomes for children when family-based care is prioritized over recourse to institutional care. Evincing how family-based care results in improved childhood development outcomes, the study also illuminates how such a model is operationally more effective for organizations implementing the same. Offering a working model of family-based care in Zambia, the study supplies a replicable framework that can be modified for other regions and circumstances.  
​
Drawing on over twenty years of experience in family-based care, Alliance for Children Everywhere seeks to apply their experience in Zambia to support a transition to family-based care among other organizations serving vulnerable children within Southern Africa and beyond. ACE and GHR share a collective vision of a world where all children—especially those at risk of losing or without parental care—are living in a stable, positive, long-term family or family-like environment.

Randall J. Bateman, MD, a leading Alzheimer’s disease researcher and longtime partner of GHR in our Alzheimer’s Prevention efforts, has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine – a part of the National Academy of Sciences, to which membership is considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine in the United States. 

Dr. Bateman was selected for his groundbreaking work in discovering and developing diagnostic tools for Alzheimer’s disease. GHR has been privileged to partner with Dr. Bateman on the development of a blood test for early Alzheimer’s detection, as well as on the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN), an international research partnership focused on understanding rare forms of Alzheimer’s disease caused by gene mutations. Dr. Bateman also created the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Network-Trials Unit (DIAN-TU) platform, the first clinical trial to test whether drug treatments prior to dementia can prevent Alzheimer’s.  

GHR Foundation is partnering boldly with a consortium of government, industry, academic research and other philanthropists on a game-changing undertaking – the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more here.
