Stacy.
Most children in the U.S. don’t experience losing loved ones until they are older. They see life through rose colored glasses and enjoy the ease of being a kid. Life in the villages and towns of Kenya is different. The children there experience loss from the time they are born. It is all around them. And some of them are touched by it far too many times. Meet Stacy. This beautiful girl has been at this school since it began in 2004. Her huge smile and shining eyes light up a room! She is full of joy and peace and knows Jesus is her Savior.

The Impact: A Letter to our Donors
Many people give just $25 each month to feed and educate a child they will never meet. They trust that we are using their money properly and ensuring that these children are happy and healthy.

What Is Orphan Care All About?
Alone. Brokenhearted. Betrayed. Abandoned. Outcast. Desperate. There are children around the world crying out for help. Many of these children do not have somewhere to call “home”. They don’t know when they will eat there next meal or where it will come from. This broken world took their mom and dad from them far too soon and they are left to fend for themselves.
