Why Foster Care Systems Are Failing Children and What We Can Do

Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and loving environment, but for many, foster care can be a scary and uncertain place. In this video, we explore the importance of providing love and safety for children in foster care. From the emotional scars of neglect and abuse to the struggle to find a forever home, we delve into the challenges faced by these vulnerable young people. Join us as we discuss the ways in which we can work together to create a more supportive and nurturing system for children in foster care. By sharing their stories and raising awareness, we can make a difference in the lives of these deserving children. Let's ensure that every child deserves love and safety in foster care.
Peter Mutabazi founded Now I Am Known, an organization that supplies resources to support vulnerable children. Originally from Uganda, Peter ran away from an abusive home at age ten and lived as a street kid for nearly five years. Today, Peter is a single dad to countless foster children and his adopted children, Anthony, Ryder, and Skyler.
Every child deserves a space like home-a sanctuary that echoes their unique spirit and aspirations. Through our Surprise Bedroom Makeovers, we transform the rooms of foster kids and teens into personalized havens of comfort, joy, and belonging. Because when a child feels seen, they feel known. And when they feel known, they shine.
As an African-immigrated citizen AND a former foster child himself-Peter provides educational, inspirational talks on foster care, adoption, child advocacy, and parenting. Peter has overcome a variety of life challenges, and he encourages listeners to love those around them and choose to see the hope in their stories.
