Orphan
Care

An orphan is a child who has lost one or both parents. In many communities, this also includes children whose parents are unable to care for them due to poverty, illness, conflict, or other hardships.

According to UNICEF estimates, there are over 150 million orphaned children worldwide.

There is no single global count, but thousands of orphanages operate in nearly every country, ranging from small community-run homes to large international facilities.

An orphan sponsorship program connects compassionate Embrace Relief donors with orphaned children in need. Sponsors contribute monthly or annual donations that help provide the necessary care and services for the child to grow up in a safe, supportive environment.

Embrace Relief’s Orphan Care program offers full support to orphaned children in need around the globe through sponsorship programs.

At the top of this page, select either a Monthly, Annual, or One-Time Sponsorship, or a one-time donation. Then, select the country and the number of children you would like to sponsor. Finally, click "Sponsor Now" and follow the secure donation steps to complete your gift.

Embrace Relief works with trusted partner orphanages in multiple countries, meaning that when you sponsor an orphan through us, your donation is going directly to a child in need.

Sponsors can choose to support an individual child or a specific orphanage location from our webpage. Once the donation is made, Embrace Relief begins providing the child with the full support they need. Each child’s wellbeing is regularly monitored, and sponsors receive ongoing progress reports to stay updated on the impact of their support.
