A Family For Every Child

For almost 50 years, Wide Horizons has worked with orphaned children worldwide. During this time, we have observed that a child is most at risk of becoming an orphan when a perfect storm of crises takes hold of their family.

Given this truth, we decided to see what would happen if we intervened with help BEFORE these crises took hold. We focused relentlessly on keeping the most at-risk families intact — and made a startling discovery.

We can prevent a child from becoming an orphan by providing integrated services to preserve and strengthen their family.

So this is what we do. And for those children who are already orphaned or abandoned when we first meet them, we do everything we can to help build nurturing families within an orphanage or through adoption.

Requirements to become a foster parent

New Hampshire foster parents are entitled to support payments. These help cover the costs of caring for a foster child. Let's take a look at some of the available benefits:

Support Payments

In New Hampshire, foster parents receive reimbursement for daily costs. This includes board, meals, clothing, and other everyday expenses. The pay rate varies depending on the foster child's age and needs, but base payments begin at $24.48/day, up to $29.49/day.

Children with special needs are also entitled to additional specialized funds, up to $36.86/day. You can learn more about expense payments for New Hampshire foster parents by clicking here.

Medical and Dental Coverage

Children in the New Hamshire foster system are covered for dental and medical care under the Medicare system.

However, it's up to the foster parents to book all necessary medical appointments and make sure the foster child attends them.

Training and Support Groups

Alongside mandatory foster parent training, there are additional courses available. This extra training helps foster parents excel and provide the best possible environment for the children in their care.

Foster parents are also invited to attend local support groups, where they can meet their peers and talk about all aspects of being a New Hampshire foster parent.
