A Singapore foster mother reflects on 23 years of caring for children
Anita from Singapore is a mother whose first fostering experience didn’t go to plan, but she was encouraged to try again.
Twenty-three years on, she has opened her heart and home to 28 foster children.
She tells Namulanta Kombo about the difficult moments, and the joy and purpose she’s found in giving children a safe, loving place to grow.
