Our team has more than two decades experience connecting people with opportunities to serve and care for orphaned children around the world. At Orphan Outreach we're experts at identifying ways people can care and invest in the lives of the children we serve by recognizing needs and proposed solutions that invite engagement from individuals and groups, such as churches.
The Orphan Outreach staff is known around the world for being a leading voice for creating best practices along the full spectrum of care for children - from family preservation to foster care and adoption and wraparound care for orphan graduates.
