Since most of the time, children at The Lighthouse can’t express their affection verbally, they show it in a thousand and one other forms.

For 20 years now, The Lighthouse Children and Families has been committed to celebrating life and to preserving the memory of children who left too early, thus supporting families facing the unfathomable. To achieve this, The Lighthouse is guided by its North Star: the idea that memory is cultivated every day.
