Brayan is a giant slayer!
In Guatemala, the odds aren’t great for a kid to complete their education. But children who are sponsored are up to 40% more likely to finish high school!
Brayan believes he will be one of those kids! His favorite subject at school is math, and he wants to be an accountant when he grows up. Brayan also attends CadaNino, where he takes typing classes, is learning how to code, and receives tutoring and Bible lessons each week. The care he’s receiving is teaching him how to care for his family too, and he loves helping around the house now. His favorite Bible study is of the most famous giant slayer ever: David and Goliath!
Brayan would love for you to be his sponsor, to ensure he continues to receive the essentials of care he needs to thrive. Get to know him now and say “yes!” to sponsorship!

“The daily work of Orphan Care can be challenging and at times, discouraging. But something that never fails to restore our hope is the potential impact of generational work. We believe everything we pour into a child, will be multiplied as they grow and start a family of their own. The foundation we help build will serve to strengthen the foundation of their families, their community, and possibly even their country. We are invested in the long-road—bent on changing the trajectory of these kid’s lives. That kind of work is bound to have an impact! And that’s something to get excited about.” Rey Diaz, Orphan Outreach Senior Vice President - 5 days ago

Who loves potatoes? THIS GIRL!
Her mom is a day laborer, and even though she and her daughters live with HIV, she works hard to provide what she can for them. J**** has her mom’s spark. She loves to help others, and everyone says she is kind and caring. J**** enjoys playing with her friends, and she may be a budding artist based on how much she likes to draw. At school, her favorite subject is Mizo, the language spoken in her home state of Mizoram. She also excels in English, and she could use some encouragement in mathematics because it’s not something that comes naturally like language. If you’re a fan of potatoes, J**** is your girl because they are her favorite food! She’s thankful for the care she and her family receive from the Gan Sabra Community Program—they are provided HIV medicine, veggies and fruit, and support to keep the girls in school.
Sponsor J****and you’ll ensure she continues to receive the essentials of care needed to thrive and grow. You can send a letter telling her about your love of potatoes too. And you can let her know that math is something she’ll use for the rest of her life, and you’re proud of her for being diligent.
Get to know J**** now and say “yes” to sponsorship!

We say holistic care for kids is a priority, but what does it mean?
It means the essentials of care that help a child thrive. At @cada.nino, students receive quality educational support and technical training that changes their lives. There is mentoring to help navigate life, meals for kids and their families to help in times of crisis. And at the center of it all is the Gospel. This year, CadaNiño has added prayer boxes so the students can share their requests. Members of local churches are partnering in prayer with the kids and their families.
You can become a prayer partner too for CadaNiño and the other ministries supported by Orphan Outreach by subscribing to our monthly updates. The link’s in our bio!

The orphan is not a cause. The orphan is not an issue. The orphan has a human face, and that face is Galilean. Jesus tells us that when we see the poor, the weak, the vulnerable, the tossed aside, we see Him there.

This soccer player wants to be a Royal Rangers instructor someday!
Of all the things Tomass loves to do, soccer is high on the list. He attends the Day Centre in Karosta, where he is provided Christ-centered mentorship, a nutritious meal, and a safe place to do homework and play with friends. His mentors say he is genuine and he always has a smile to offer. Tomass loves being part of Royal Rangers too, and hopes to be an instructor someday. He really likes honey cake and chicken salad (we think both sound incredible too), and his favorite Bible story is of Joseph in Egypt. Tomass would love for you to pray for his parents (they are both struggling with health issues that keep them from being able to work), and also that his family would love each other well.
Tomass would love to have a sponsor like you, too! Your support will ensure he continues to receive the care he needs to thrive! Get to know him now and say “yes!” to sponsorship! His link is in our bio!

What a powerful week in Kenya! Thank you to Ronnie Mosley, humanitarian photographer and Orphan Outreach friend who traveled to Patmos School in Mathare Slum to capture images and stories! It’s a rare treat to see behind-the-scenes—and we are grateful for his love for the orphaned and vulnerable!
Sharliz Adhiambo attends Patmos School, where she receives holistic care thanks to child sponsorship. She has a chance to break the cycle of property that grips those who live in Mathare, the second largest slum in Africa.
“From my interview with Patmos student Sharliz Adhiambo and her mother Caroline:
“What does it mean for your child to attend Patmos school? ‘Because my child has a sponsor I was able to take her to Patmos to get a better education. I am so happy that she is progressing well with her education.’
“What has your child taught you since she started at Patmos School? ‘Since my child started attending Patmos school, she has taught me a lot because they are being taught about drug abuse and trying to avoid that and they are also taught to be responsible children and to be a good influence on others.’
(Sharliz) “What would you like to be when you grow up? And where would you like to use this profession? ‘I would like to be a doctor when I grow up so that I can treat my parents and siblings.’
“What have you learned from going to school? ‘I have been taught never to cheat, never t to hurt other children and never to insult other people.’

“From my interview with Milka Adhiambo and her daughter, Latifa Achieng:

“What changes have you seen in your child since she they began attending Patmos School? I appreciate my child being at Patmos. Initially when she joined Patmos she did not know how to read, but now she knows how to read and I really appreciate the kind of changes that are taking place in her life.’

There’s just a sense of pride I have for all the work they do. I love being a part of it.” Get to know Bev and learn how she is transforming home purchases and sales into help for the orphaned and vulnerable.

This week, we’re taking you on a special journey with @capturinggracearoundtheworld, humanitarian photographer and friend of Orphan Outreach. He travels to Kenya to gather stories and images at Patmos School.
“Yesterday I introduced you to the Mathare slum where over 600,000 people live in extreme poverty. Today I want to introduce you to the Patmos School and one its students, Collins Monda.
“Collins is 15 years old and has attended Patmos School since the first grade. He speaks multiple languages, his favorite subjects are Swahili and science and he looks forward to using his education to help his family and improve the lives of others who live in Mathare. His dream is to become a police officer.
“Thanks to the education Collins is receiving he has a real chance to break the multigenerational cycle of poverty that hangs so heavy over the slums of Mathare. He is a wonderful example of a life transformed through the partnership of Orphan Outreach, Patmos School and child sponsorship.”

Your sponsorship of children in the countries we serve provides the essentials of care each child needs to thrive.
And sponsorship does even more. It’s a story of hope. Your sponsored child is more likely to complete school because of your support. They are more likely to become community and church leaders too. You help inspire confidence by letting them know they have someone who believes in their dreams.
Why not write your sponsor child right now, and let them know how proud you are of them! We’ve made sending a letter easy! Complete our special form (the link’s in our bio), and we’ll be sure to deliver your note of encouragement!
Thank you for being a sponsor! You help restore hope for orphaned and vulnerable children!

At the heart of all we do is the love of Jesus.
And that’s why sponsorship provides spiritual care for every child we serve.
Your sponsor child receives practical, Christ-centered wisdom about how to serve others with grace as they learn to be strong leaders in their community. And they are covered in prayer every single day.
Thank you, sponsors, for helping to restore hope for orphaned and vulnerable children.

This week, we’re inviting you into the life of humanitarian photographer @capturinggracearoundtheworld as he travels to Kenya to bring back stories and images for Orphan Outreach. Ronnie shares his personal accounts this week as he meets the people of Mathare Slum and the students and staff of Patmos School.
“CAN YOU IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT LIVING IN ONE OF THE LARGEST SLUMS IN AFRICA? CAN YOU IMAGINE IF YOU WERE A SINGLE MOM WITH NO RESOURCES TO EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN AND PROVIDE THEM WITH A LIFE THAT IS ANY LESS PAINFUL THAN YOUR OWN?
“Most People in Mathare live in 6 ft. x 8 ft. shanties made of old tin and mud. Most have no beds, no electricity, and no running water. People sleep on pieces of cardboard on the dirt floors of the shanties. There are public toilets shared by up to 100 people and residents have to pay to use them. Those who cannot afford to pay must use the alleys and ditches between the shanties. “Flying toilets” are plastic bags used by the residents at night, then thrown into the Nairobi River, which is the source of the residents’ water supply.
“Approximately 600,000 people live in an area of three square miles. Most live on an income of less than a dollar per day. Crime and HIV/AIDs are common. Many parents die of AIDS and leave their children to fend for themselves. Mathare Community Outreach tries to care for as many of these orphans as possible, but their resources are limited.
“Thanks to child sponsorship at Patmos School through Orphan Outreach, hope has been given to families in Mathare and lives are being changed.”

Little Z lost her parents to HIV, and there was no family member to provide care for her. She’s now living in a safe secure home where she’s receiving wraparound care and thriving. Z is learning colors and shapes, and she really likes rhymes. She’ll take milk over juice any day, and she really loves puppies!
Being Z’s sponsor means ensuring she continues to receive the physical, spiritual, emotional, and educational care she needs. And right now, little Z would love for YOU to be that sponsor.
