Project Foster
Our newest project. The issue of Foster Care usually goes unnoticed. Some people may not know about it, but we do not want any foster kid to go unnoticed. We have partnered with our friends at Nobody’s Child to fix this!

Make an impact.
Home For the Holidays
Ask anyone what their favorite day of the year is. You will probably hear a lot of holidays, but there are some people around us that dread these days. They spend these days alone because they have no family or friends to spend it with. “Home For the Holidays” helps foster kids to be involved and included in the magical time of holidays.
My Choice
The struggles with finding employment hit most people in 2020, but maybe it gave us a chance to see what the struggles are like to be looking for a job when you grow up in foster care. Imagine how hard it is to find a job and who would want to hire you when your only references are your social worker. This option is for our friends who own business who will commit to giving foster kids a chance to work for you! Remember your first job? A lot of us are shaped and learned many valuable skills from our first job, and our friends in the foster care deserve that experience too.
It’s Your Day
Did you ever have a graduation party, baby shower, or go out for a celebratory drink when you landed that new job? Well, we want to take those experience for our foster friends. We wondered who is celebrating them when they deserve it. This option is great for those who love celebrating other people. Let’s brighten someones accomplishments together.
My Turn
18! That is technically the age most societies consider when you become an adult. But many of us have a families who help us make the next step, and many of us can choose when we take that step. Wether that is finding our first apartment or living in the dorms in college. Ya know… “adulting” like: learning life skills like budgeting, cooking meals, cleaning the house. It doesn't have to happen until we feel we are ready, but when our foster friends turn 18… that step into adulthood is going to happen. On their birthday they will be thrown into a new step if they are ready or not. Wether that is finding our first apartment or living in the dorms in college. My turn is a huge undertaking that will require you to work closely with us at WAVES and our friends at Nobody’s Child, but if you are here we know you aren’t the type to why away from a challenge.
The biggest option is to CHANGE THE LAW.
Join the campaign to change legislation so that are partner Nobody’s Child can help these children. We believe in what they are doin, and that is why we are a hands on partner, and promote Project Foster to all our WAVES around the world. To learn more about why the law needs changed, and why the other ways to make an impact are just scratching the surface. While these option do help, the real change comes with fixing the problem at its source!
