There are millions of orphans around the world. Orphan World Relief comes along side of programs that are well run and helps them to expand what they do and improve so that more children can be served. Additionally, they're looking for opportunities to become a resource for others interested in:
- orphan care
- foster care
- adoption (international and domestic)
They're still a small organization, but doing great things!
Great people doing it right for a great cause helping at-risk children around the world. Incredibly proud to be a part of this team!
In college, I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to an orphanage in a third world country. Spending time with the kids and seeing how much they were loved and cared for changed my view of orphanages. I met the founder of Orphan World Relief a few years ago and learned about the organization. OWR partners with programs that are well run- where kids are recieving the love and care they need. The kids in these programs aren't running around in shabby clothes with hungry bellies. They are happy and well cared for! As little as a few dollars a month or volunteering for a couple hours makes a meaningful difference in the lives of these babies, kids, teens, and young adults who are transitioning to independence. It's an honor and to work alongside with those that support OWR and to know that a difference is being made in the lives of children all around the world!
I have volunteered with Montaña de Luz for about 7 years. During that time I've gone on service trips, helped gather holiday gifts, and been involved in fundraising. it has been a wonderful opportunity to learn about another corner of the world, and work alongside my family for a common cause. I've gained both local and international friends, which has been the most rewarding part of the experience.
I have recently become involved in Orphan World Relief and love them! They are open and friendly and my favorite thing is it's so easy to get involved and make an impact for orphans! So far I've run a bounce house (while my kids played), ran a 5k, and helped raise awareness by sharing about them! It's so easy, family friendly, and organized, that even an exhausted mom of 4 can get involved to help orphans! Love this non-profit and their mission!
Orphan World Relief is a small grassroots non-profit which supports five orphanages world-wide. They operate on a small budget and donations go directly to the orphans in need. Since serving in an advisory position to the development director, I have gotten to know much more about this agency. Their staff and board are highly motivated and extremely passionate about helping children and youth in countries where there are few or no social services to provide for them. This is an often overlooked population that definitely benefits from OWR , their mission, practices and donations. I am proud to be assisting their cause.
OWR raises funds for at risk children and helps to support Orphanages all over the world. Currently programs assist with Orphanages in 5 different countries and are developing strategies to help kids in need in the United States.
OWR is simply incredible! It is a small local organization with a huge global impact!
The group dives in with such enthusiasm and passion and continuously gives of themselves to help others!
Everyone involved with this program is amazing! from the administrators to the donors, the volunteers, the people that spread the word, to the participants of events and activities.
I am so lucky and so blessed to be part of this extremely worthy cause!!!
Keep up the good! work and get involved if you want to help!
Many charities that help orphans connect you with an individual child and send you pictures, letters, etc. After learning about Orphan World Relief, I have realized that this is pretty selfish on our part. It takes a lot of money to organize all of that. If you want to have the biggest impact and help the most children, go with Orphan World Relief. They have such a huge heart for the children! They are transparent and responsible with donations, they make certain that the groups they partner with are responsible and well run. I will continue to donate and am thankful for the wonderful work they're doing.
Orphan World Relief is an amazing organization that makes such a great impact. It is well-run by passionate people who are truly making a difference. There is such a great need for organizations like this that help at-risk children all over the globe. I fully believe in the mission of Orphan World Relief.
Orphan World World relief is, simply put, a group of amazing people working for a very important cause. To me, it's important that every child finds loving parents, and I've been able to help make that happen by volunteering for OWR. The best part is, I've gotten to volunteer by working at some very different kinds of fundraisers, such as Rock 'N Bounce Night at Supergames and the annual Superhero 5K. OWR needs more recognition, as it's not only an amazing non profit, but it's also an amazing group of people.
We have been blessed to have OWR as a supporter of Montana de Luz! While there are too many orphans in the world there are not enough funders who understand the challenges to raising 30 kids on top of a mountain in rural Honduras.... OWR gets it and understands that we are literally saving and transforming lives! Their quarterly support provides the basics= food, medicine, education to children who have been forgotten by their families and country because they have HIV. Gracias!
This is a well run organization with a passion! I believe so much in their mission that I donate 10% of all my profits from my business to their cause. What a wonderful cause...to help at-risk kids around the world who have no family or home know they are cared about and take care of with nutritional, educational, and financial needs!
OWR's personalized approach to building awareness and improving the lives of children is refreshing. They go beyond providing the much needed financial support. They incorporate education and provide hope and love to children who need it most. Their impact is captured by photos from their trips to the orphanages and seen in the smiles of the children and and volunteers. The transparency of this organization in addition to the personalized approach described above is why I am and will continue to be a proud supporter.
