“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
When we open the door to an education, we unlock the future for children. Education is the difference between failure and success. It is the difference between poverty and plenty. Without an education, jobs are hard to come by, and without a job, a mother or father cannot feed their children. When parents cannot support their families, the family unit often breaks up, and children end up on the streets or in orphanages. We start to solve the world’s orphan crisis by educating as many of the 146 million orphans in the world as we can.
Children who attend our Orphan’s Promise education centres have the opportunity to not only attend school but to thrive and reach their full potential. Our students take classes in subjects like English, Math, and Computer Skills, but they also receive training in life skills like cooking, money management, and relationship building.
As we opened the doors of our education and training centres, we realized that although a lot of children were coming to learn, far too many of them were sat at their desks and unable to focus because of the tremendous hunger pangs in their empty bellies. We knew we needed to feed them, and as we did so, they began to come alive. In fact, a number of children who had been previously diagnosed as “special needs” or “developmentally delayed” were completely transformed into some of our brightest students, once they began receiving proper nutrition at one of our projects.
If our goal truly is to see children from difficult backgrounds thrive, all the food and education in the world will still leave them wanting. The only way for these children to thrive is to introduce them to Jesus. He is the one who places dreams in their hearts. The One who holds their tomorrows in His hands. We love them because He first loved us.
If we can eliminate the conditions that lead to poverty and brokenness, we believe we will see entire communities set free. There are stigmas surrounding families that are uneducated, living in poverty, and unable to provide for themselves. Often, these stigmas hold families back from asking for help, and the result is never positive.
Aimed at helping hurting families recover and allowing vulnerable children to remain in their homes, Keeping Families Together (KFT) is an intensive program that helps children and their parents learn how to relate to one another in a healthy way. In addition, the program helps parents who are struggling financially to begin microenterprises—learning job skills, money management, and responsibility along the way. Families who graduate from our KFT programs are equipped with all the tools necessary to remain together and to grow spiritually, mentally, socially, and emotionally.
Human beings are not property. This seems like such a simple concept that everyone should understand, but sadly, there are more slaves in the world today than at any other time in human history. We can’t claim to love and serve orphaned and at-risk children if we don’t take an active role in pursuing rescue and freedom for children impacted by the scourge of human trafficking.
We are currently operating more than 500 projects in 70+ countries in 7 geographical regions of the world. There are 143 Million orphaned and at-risk children in the world today, and there are needs everywhere. We receive hundreds of applications for new projects every year and a board reviews each application and determines whether or not the program is in alignment with our mission and our values. We also take budget and fundraising into account when considering new projects. We want the work of Orphan’s Promise to be deep and impactful, rather than wide and superficial.
We’d love to connect with you on social media, and send you our emails, so you always know what’s happening with OP. In addition, we would be honoured to have your financial support. We cannot accomplish our important work alone. We need committed individuals who will stand with us and support the work of Orphan’s Promise around the world.
