Orphan Chilren

Picture above: Orphans currently sponsored through AFOA in Ragen Village, Kenya.

Our Orphan Support is a model for providing support for orphans that church communities are trying to look after in terms of food, shelter, clothing, education and health.

This model differs from other sponsorship schemes commonly run by established agencies because it is a commitment to the household/project rather than to individual orphans.

The main advantage in this approach is that it greatly reduces the amount of administration and administration costs that is normally required by the agency in the sponsor/child relationship.

Nevertheless, sponsors would still be able to have a sense of helping individual children and in most cases photos and names would be able to be supplied of the group of children in the project.

The financial commitment would be used in the following ways:

• providing food,
• organising regular visits by the health worker from a neighbouring health clinic (say once a month) to provide adequate immunisation and health care for the children,
• to provide adequate clothes for the children, and
• providing for the educational needs of the children.
