Orphan Life Foundation is a non-profit charity organization that works toward orphan welfare currently in countries around the world, including Burkina-Faso, Columbia, India, the Philippines, and the United States. Orphan Life continues to try and broaden its global footprint. The organization is based in Delaware with multiple representations across the U.S. and several partnerships around the world.
Orphan Life Foundation aims to provide holistic care, basic human needs, and education for orphaned children in such countries. Our approach helps us ensure that orphans receive the resources they need to live healthy and safe lives and provide resources to potentially change the course of their and their families’ lives.
Mission Statement
“Orphan Life Foundation is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and adversity for orphaned children in Burkina Faso. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, holistic care, quality education, health and wellness support, foster home and shelter services, and to act as steadfast advocates for these vulnerable children. We are committed to facilitating the adoption process empowering each child to secure a brighter future filled with love, opportunity, and hope.”
Vision Statement
“We envision a world where every orphaned child, regardless of their background or location, has the chance to grow, thrive, and realize their full potential. We want to create a global community that embraces and supports orphaned children, providing them with the love, care, education, and resources they need to build brighter futures.”
While orphaned children can face difficulties anywhere, they are more vulnerable in over-populated and underprivileged countries. These countries lack the resources to provide their people with adequate healthcare, food, education, and other necessities. With no caretaker, orphaned children have little to no chance of availing of any available resources. In fact, they are often at risk of getting robbed of available resources, violence, abuse, exploitation, and exclusion from society.

Our approach helps us ensure that orphans receive the resources they need to live healthy and safe lives and provide resources to potentially change the course of their own and their families’ lives.

The Orphan Life Foundation primarily addresses the social issue of orphaned and vulnerable children who face adversity due to the loss of parental care and the resulting challenges, including poverty, lack of education, and limited access to basic necessities. Our organization works to provide holistic care, education, and support to improve the lives and prospects of these children.
We are focused on ensuring clean drinking water, which is a big issue as it can lead to serious health issues and fatalities. We are relentlessly working to build water filtration systems to provide easy and reliable access to clean water.
Besides this, we also focus on educating orphan children about HIV, including its transmission, prevention, treatment, and the impact it has on individuals and communities. Understanding how HIV is transmitted and how to protect oneself is essential in preventing new infections.
To measure program impact, various strategies are employed. Firstly, Outcome Assessment involves evaluating specific changes or goals a program intends to achieve, such as improvements in educational outcomes. Data Collection is essential, involving collecting relevant data before, during, and after program implementation, including surveys, interviews, academic records, and health assessments.
Baseline Surveys establish a starting point and assess the initial conditions or needs of the target population. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are defined, offering measurable metrics aligned with program objectives.
Qualitative Feedback is gathered through interviews and focus groups from participants, beneficiaries, and stakeholders to provide valuable insights. Case Studies and Success Stories are documented and shared to illustrate positive changes.
Some of our successful projects and initiatives include:
There are multiple ways to support us. You can send charitable donations or become a volunteer with us to empower and motivate orphans.
The biggest challenge is arranging funds for projects like Clean Water For Children (CWC). Under this program, we want to establish filtration systems to eliminate water crises and health issues from drinking contaminated water. This requires capital and skilled labor.
To ensure accountability in financial management, the Orphan Life Foundation maintains accurate records, prepares annual financial statements, and adheres to clear financial policies and budgets. Independent audits are conducted annually, and the results are shared with the board and the public. Donors are informed about fund utilization, and grant compliance is upheld.
We are ready for collaborations and partnerships. In fact, we are happy to guide people interested in fundraising for OLF. View our fundraising page for details.
In order to provide orphaned children with the care and affection they rightfully deserve, our dedicated team of organizational members and collaborative partners work closely and harmoniously to offer a comprehensive array of services.
