The World Orphan Fund

The World Orphan Fund was founded in 2011 as an all-volunteer organization, with no overhead, staff, or administrative expenses. 100% of donations go directly to fund projects to aid orphaned children. Board members cover their own travel and administrative costs, while sponsors agree to cover the cost of our events. We personally visit every single home we help to make sure the children are well cared for. We have visited 15 countries and assisted 100+ children’s homes, and with our amazing donors, we’ve been able to fund more than 150 projects. Our donors have helped us launch vocational training and transition-to-adult living programs, provide housing and therapy to special needs children, remove arsenic and other contaminants from water and solve many other challenges unique to the countries where we serve. We focus on emergency and transformational funding, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and measurable results. Join us and be part of making a difference, one child at a time.
