Public Institution Mother Teresa’s Family Homes (Family Homes) was established on May 10, 2012, by the Charity and Support Foundation Hill of Hope.
Since its establishment, the activities of the Family Homes have been closely linked to an ongoing mission – to help those who are most in need of support. The individuals and families under our care often face various life challenges: they grow up or have grown up without parental care, live with disabilities, experience social exclusion or financial hardship, or belong to socially vulnerable groups.
The vision of the Family Homes was shaped through earlier initiatives: the volunteer-based project “Let Us Care for Children by Supporting the Family”, implemented since 2005, and the Responsible Parenthood Education School, established in 2008. These initiatives led to the goal of creating a place in Šiauliai where mothers with infants could receive residential care and support services. This vision was realized with the establishment of Mother Teresa’s Family Homes.
In September 2025, the Family Homes took an important step forward by becoming an independent public institution, continuing its meaningful work as an autonomous organization while maintaining the same mission – to support families, strengthen community bonds, and help create a dignified life for every person. Regina Zabielienė became the sole founder and owner of the Public Institution Mother Teresa’s Family Homes.
