Orphanos Foundation - This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father: to visit widows and orphans in their distress. James 1:27

Welcome to Orphanos


Orphanos was established in 1997 by five men who sought to honor the Lord by providing for the needs of children, particularly orphans, in different settings world-wide. Our name and mission come directly from the Holy Bible.
The name "Orphanos" comes from the Greek word for orphan. Our mission statement reads, in part: "The sole objective of the foundation is to glorify the Lord Jesus and serve His purposes on earth..."
Further, "Foundation shall accomplish its objective through a concentration, in the name of Jesus Christ, on meeting the needs of children in the world, with a particular emphasis on orphaned children."
