New partnership offers great strides in Adoption and Fostering
We have teamed up with Home for Good to Every day more than 50 children are taken into care in the UK. They are removed from chaotic, traumatic, abusive, neglectful or desperate situations. Some of them need a home in an emergency. Some of them need a temporary home until they can return to their families. Some of them need an occasional home to give their families a break. Some of them need a permanent home with a new forever family.
Home for Good is addressing this need and we are helping them speak to social workers and equally help social workers access the Home for Good initiative. Find out more here

“So could Bethlehem become the new Bangalore?” asks BBC reporter Yolande Knell. “The young people working here are convinced of it.”
“This is a new sector but in Bethlehem we speak English with a good accent and we can speak Arabic in an accent that’s acceptable in all Arab countries,” says Transcend staff member Mowahad Darras. “We also have the analytical skills.”
“We want to be a call centre doing international outsourcing for the USA, UK and the Gulf. That will mean bringing money from outside to Palestine and boosting our economy a little.”
