Mission: We help churches create orphan care strategies, under their vision, for the sake of church & child. We are working towards a world where every church in every community is caring for every orphan.
Results: Patch Our Planet's orphan care curriculum is now being used in over 100+ communities, 25 states and communities in 6 countries. These are communities who are creating custom orphan care strategies for their local vulnerable children. We also helped start the Every Child Network in Buffalo, NY, the SW FL Orphan Care Network and the budding Utah Orphan Care Network. We were honored to speak at the White House in November 2012 and have continued to work towards the goal of helping every church in every community care for every orphan.
Target demographics: churches create custom orphan care strategies
Direct beneficiaries per year: start the SW FL Orphan Care Network, church leaders at conferences (now totaling over 100+ communities using our curriculum) and we helped start an orphan care network in Utah and Georgia by equipping influential churches who will multiply their successes with other local churches.
Geographic areas served: the U.S. & globally
Programs: on-site strategy training, online curriculum and building church networks of care
