Their mission: We at Orphan Life Foundation believe that the most vulnerable segments of society, that is, its orphaned children, are our collective responsibility. Since they have no one else to take care of them, we have to provide them the loving environment where they can feel safe and prosper till they grow up to take their rightful place in the world. Ultimately, helping orphan children and equipping them with all the tools that would help them grow up to become responsible and caring adults is an honor and a privilege that few of us have. We aim to take care of vulnerable children in Africa, Asia and the US by providing them food, shelter and clothing along with opportunities for adoption, education and even foster care so that they can live as normal a life as possible.
