We founded The World Orphan Fund 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 have visited 15 countries and assisted 100+ children’s homes, and with both God’s grace and amazing donors, we’ve been able to fund more than 110 projects. Our donors have helped us launch vocational training and transition programs, provide housing and therapy to special needs children, remove arsenic from water and solve many other challenges.
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.
