Wide Horizons for Children is a child welfare agency, which seeks to place orphaned and at-risk children with permanent families in the New England area. Their secondary objective is to locate these children in developing countries and subsequently provide them with humanitarian aid or a child sponsorship. They offer extensive services and undertake projects that will help improve the living conditions of the affected children. Since 1974, they have placed nearly 10,000 children in caring homes. Wide Horizons has an office location in a third floor suite in the Bicentenial Square.
