Last year, we set out a bold ambition: to reach millions more children, in more countries, more quickly over the next decade. As our work evolves to meet that ambition, we're refreshing our brand to better reflect who we are today and the future we're working towards. While you'll start to see some changes in how Lumos looks and communicates, our mission remains the same: helping every child grow up in a safe and loving family. ow.ly/AHVs50ZSLwf

Thank you to Uruguay’s Supreme Court of Justice and UNICEF Uruguay for this important meeting and for their commitment to advancing children’s rights. We welcomed the opportunity to exchange perspectives on strengthening child protection systems, enhancing cross-sectoral cooperation, and promoting family-based care so every child can grow up in a safe, nurturing family environment, with their rights and best interests at the centre. @novellaheilmann @UNICEFuruguay @PJudicialUY
Nos reunimos con representantes de la Fundación @lumos y @UNICEFuruguay. Compartimos desafíos y avances en la protección de niños, niñas y adolescentes, reafirmando nuestro compromiso de construir una justicia más cercana y accesible. poderjudicial.gub.uy/novedad…

Children belong in families. Yet many relatives who step forward to care for children when parents cannot are left without the support they need. Join us on 6 October 2026 for the launch of the 2026 Global Kinship Care Policy Survey, conducted by Family for Every Child in partnership with Lumos. Discover findings from 21 countries and recommendations for building stronger support for kinship caregivers. 🔗 ow.ly/8Ocu50ZUnyG #GlobalKinshipCareWeek #KinshipCare #CareReform #ChildProtectionSystems
