Establishing orphanages is the next stage of expanding our ministry. Even though the life in the orphanage is not an ideal situation for a child, it is a very good temporary solution until a permanent place is found. The poverty and the number of orphans in the streets is heart-breaking. Our prayer is that we can help in anyway we can.
Orphan Statistics
- It is estimated there are between 143 million and 210 million orphans worldwide (recent UNICEF report.)
- Every day 5,760 more children become orphans.
- Every 2.2 seconds another orphan ages out with no family to belong to and no place to call home.
