Mission Statement

Transforming lives of orphans through the love of God and family.

About This Cause

Heart for Orphans is helping to give hope to orphaned teens in Ukraine and Belarus by giving them what they need the most--love of a family. Tragically, the majority of orphaned teens in the former Soviet Union have been abandoned by a living parent and have grown up in an orphanage with 200 to 300 other children. After the 9th grade, at the age of 15 or 16, they must leave the orphanage. When they leave the protection of an adult at this young age, they are susceptible to sex trafficking, forced organ removal, prostitution, drugs, alcohol and suicide. But we provide an alternative--homes and house parents who become mom and dad to these heart-broken young teens. Our house parents teach them life skills that are so lacking in kids that have grown up in an institution, all while instilling in them a sense of value and purpose and helping them begin to heal from their emotional wounds. The house parents model a healthy marriage and teach these orphaned kids how to love and forgive, and they protect them from becoming a tragic statistic. We can't eradicate the orphan problem....... but we CAN help....... one orphan at a time.
