Program areas at World Orphans

We are committed to seeing orphans and vulnerable children cared for wholistically (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) in families through our Home Based Care initiative. Ministry teams from local churches mentor and disciple vulnerable families and those that have taken in orphans, providing love, care, and the hope of the Gospel. U.S. churches come alongside an international church to form church-to-church partnerships built on relationship, as together we work to care for orphans and vulnerable families. World Orphans continued to partner with a ministry in Northern Iraq to minister to refugees, as well as assist with operations of a micro-refugee camps, a school to educate refugee children, and a medical clinic.During the period 1/1/2022 - 12/31/2022, World Orphans helped to fund 41 projects in 9 countries for the support of orphans and vulnerable families. It is estimated that 8,189 orphans, widows, vulnerable families, and refugees were impacted through World Orphans' programs.
