International Orphans and Vulnerable Children Fund
Project Overview
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, an estimated 50 million children have lost a parent, including more than 8 million who have lost both parents. Sadly, Africa is not the only continent whose children are being left alone and vulnerable by war, famine, violence, disease, poverty, and family issues. These global problems are decimating families across many countries, leaving millions of children in need of protection and care.
With your partnership, this fund, formerly known as the “Sub-Saharan Africa Orphan Help Fund,” is expanding to champion children in all parts of the world. In some places, older children end up taking care of their younger siblings by themselves when all the adults in the family have died, leaving these young ones vulnerable to sexual abuse, violence, and human trafficking. Most orphans stay with relatives; however, these grandmothers, aunts, and uncles often do not have enough money for their own families and cannot support extra children. In fact, poverty is the leading reason children end up separated from their families. These children are not orphans by loss, but by circumstance.
You can assist orphans and vulnerable children around the world through our Baptist ministries. Giving to this fund will help buy food and medications, pay school fees, and purchase clothing and school uniforms. In addition, we have expanded our orphan care to support families and keep vulnerable children in safe, loving, flourishing families, as God designed.
IMB missionaries and local Baptist church partners will personally distribute the funds to help orphans and vulnerable children in their communities. Your gift to the International Orphans and Vulnerable Children Fund will help these children know that Jesus cares about their needs. Your partnership with local missionaries and Baptist churches will communicate that God wants to show them love through His body, the church.
When you give, you are participating in God’s mission to restore families and rewrite stories. You are helping churches bring hope. You are helping children find safety, love, and a sense of belonging within a family.
