"From the moment we met the children in that first orphanage, I knew our mission was to make sure no child ever felt forgotten or unloved. APCF is about more than providing shelter. It's about giving each child the chance to experience belonging, hope, and the courage to shape their own future, no matter where they began. Through APCF, we’re giving them a family, hope, and the courage to imagine a better future."
Molly McAlvany is the heart and co-founder behind APCF's mission, working alongside her husband, Don, to make a lasting impact in the lives of vulnerable children across Asia. Her journey began with a personal calling to provide love, care, and a stable environment to children in need, and this passion led her to help establish APCF in 2006. With years of hands-on experience visiting orphanages and engaging with children, Molly has become a beacon of hope for countless young lives, ensuring that APCF supports not only the physical needs of the children but also their emotional and psychological well-being.
