Orphanage Foundation
We, Empowering Orphans, know that people want to make a real difference. Most just don’t know how. We focus on empowering generous donors like you to look out for orphans and orphanage foundations without anyone else.
Child Help Foundation
Many children are in orphanages because their families are poor and can’t afford to feed or educate them. This is no reason to be institutionalized. To address this, we partner with key organizations to strengthen communities and families and keep children out of institutions.
We train, educate, and equip orphanages to transform into centers of excellence. Centers for Excellence offer community support in various ways, creating a path for children to remain or reunite with their birth families or to find a loving home through kinship care, foster care, adoption, and other family care options.
We work with a child-first approach to provide each orphan with a loving home, a quality education, and a promising future. When you bring together those who have and those who do not, miracles happen.
The Problem
There are 8 million orphans living in institutions, according to UNICEF. Many of them live in orphanages with deplorable conditions, where their most basic needs are not met. The children are often hungry, scared, confused and lonely.
The majority of institutional orphanage foundations are overcrowded and run-down, and some are even tainted with abuse, neglect, and corruption. Even when managed by people with good intentions, orphanages often lack the necessary funds, resources and knowledge to properly provide children care.
That is why we meticulously evaluate orphanages based on the 12 Rights of the Child and transition them into Centers for Excellence. This gives the children a safe, loving place to thrive until they transition to family care. It is time we let the world’s orphans and their caregivers” know we have high expectations for them. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives by empowering them to reach their full potential.
Change an orphan’s life today. Become a monthly donor and help us fund all the orphans we support. With just $50 or $100 per month, you can help make a miracle for each of these precious children.
Our Goal
The ultimate goal of the Miracle Orphanage Foundation is to find a loving family for every orphaned child. If possible, we explore every avenue to reunite children with a parent or relative. We have reunited approximately 25% of our children with their families. We do this by allocating resources to more effectively facilitate family-based care options, including adoption, and working with the community to ensure excellent family support services are in place.
While a child is in transition to a family, we guarantee:
- Care and love
- Quality education
- A safe and loving environment
- Personalized care so they are healthy
