Church Orphan Homes

With the orphan population growing in epidemic proportions, there is an enormous, immediate need for orphan care around the world. 

Family Homes

Moving away from traditional, institutional, orphanages WBOCI offers a fresh, dynamic approach to confront the world orphan crisis, through establishing and supporting church-based Family Homes. Each home has a family atmosphere based on love and compassion that is touched by the word of God. Every home shares a building with the local Christian church. The orphan children live on the top level with the caregivers, while the ground level is where the church and community meet (see photos).

Each home has the capacity to house about 40 children. The homes provide beneficial, nurturing, holistic care to parentless infants, children, and adolescents. A healthy, flourishing environment filled with love and songs of worship is found at each Family Home.

Churches

We are firstly committed to planting local churches that have a heart to live out the true Gospel, loving God and loving our neighbor. We believe that local churches, led by indigenous pastors together with their congregation, loving orphans is a true testimony of the love of Christ. This unique church/home combination provides an effective means to meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of each orphan as well as addressing the felt needs of the community.

Widows

Widows are the principal caregivers in each orphan care facility. In this manner, a child who just lost his or her parents is cared for by someone who knows their pain because they too have experienced loss. We maintain a staff ratio of one caregiver for every five children, so you can be assured that a frightened child will be held and comforted by someone who cares.

Orphans

Orphans come from various circumstances. Many of them have lost their parents due to sickness and diseases such as AIDS, malaria or other failed health related causes. Many children become orphans because of landmines, war or abandonment. We view these children, whom are left to wander the streets and countryside homeless and hopeless, as God’s most precious.
