About US

our history

Easy answer, right? Maybe not.  Our definition of 'orphan' is any child whose parents cannot (or will not) care for them as a child needs to be cared for properly.  Thus, the parents may have died, or maybe the parents are still alive, but unable to care for their child due to illness, poor choices (eg. in prison), poverty, unwillingness or lack of knowledge.Examples:

• In the USA, foster children are orphans.
  
• In Ukraine, children living on the streets because of drug addicted parents are orphans.
  
• In India, children with widowed mothers who cannot provide for them because they have no job skills are orphans.
  
• In China or South Korea, a baby left to die (because she is a girl or he is disabled) is an orphan.
