“It’s good that you are giving money to orphanages but there’s a better way to help children separated from family."

Ruth Wacuka


About this Series

Have you ever cared for orphaned children through prayer, financial giving, or even visited an orphanage? Being here means you are taking a closer look at what's been done for orphans in the past and shifting to achieve maximum results in care reform for orphans in the future. If you've ever met a child without a family, you know their longing for a family and the pain of that memory stings. Orphans need deeper investment in them due to the undeniable trauma of family separation. 

Reeducating ourselves in the issues involving orphans seems personal and deeply meaningful. There's a better way, and we are setting a new course in care reform to discover it through Francis Chan. Journey with Francis through Kenya as he learns about a radical shift that is happening globally in orphan care.
