About Us

The Families for Orphans Project grew out of the experiences of many people who have visited developing countries and witnessed firsthand the bleak and often life-threatening conditions in which so many orphans are trapped. Some of these people are responding by personally adopting orphans into their own families. Others are directing financial support to specific orphanages or projects or are supporting individual orphans who are being cared for by families in their home countries.

All of them, no matter how they are now responding individually, are determined to do even more to deal with this exploding humanitarian crisis. One of those additional responses has been to organize the Families Saving for Project.

The primary goal of our project is to inform others of the plight of these orphans and give those who are moved to help a secure, reliable and cost-effective means of doing so. While we provide traditional support for orphans, we are also developing innovative and even more efficient and cost-effective ways to deal with this crisis. In this effort we draw upon our extensive collective experience “on the ground” in the developing countries in which we are sponsoring pilot projects as well as utilizing our collective experience and contacts with government officials and with humanitarian agencies and researchers in this area.

We invite you to look at the projects we currently have underway and to sign up for our monthly e-newsletter which will keep you updated on our efforts and on important news and developments in the global effort to help orphans.

We urgently need the most generous financial contribution you can make to support our efforts. Contributions are tax deductible for U.S. citizens. Click here to easily and securely make an online contribution or print out a form to contribute by mail.
