Orphans International (OI) was created in response to the crisis facing children around the globe today. With the AIDS epidemic, natural disasters, low world health standards and immense poverty, OI operates with a mission to confront head-on the incredible demand for improved opportunities to benefit the world’s disadvantaged orphans. Our model of ‘Raising Global Citizens’ and bringing up each child as we would one of our own differentiates OI and makes a significant difference in both the short-term needs of children and the long-term improvement of disadvantaged areas throughout the world.
