When a child loses their parents, there are often cultural stigmas about orphans they have to face. Some cultures see them as inherently unlovable. Other cultures see them as inherently evil for surviving their parents. And they end up abandoned on the street—unloved, afraid, lost, alone.
Whether they’re abandoned or else a family member (who does not have the means to care for them) tries to care for them, poverty is inevitable for these children, and all its symptoms—hunger, thirst, disease, lack of education, and even labor and sex trafficking.
Give a gift today to help make their orphanage stable and ultimately sustainable so they can feel safe, heal, and thrive.
