At Orphan Life Foundation, we firmly believe every child has a right to a quality education.
For orphaned and underprivileged children, education is not just a need; it’s a lifeline to a brighter future. It provides the skills, knowledge, and confidence that children need to break free from the cycle of poverty and hardship.
By equipping these young minds with the right tools, we help pave the way for them to become responsible, successful adults who can contribute positively to society.
Our Education Projects at a Glance
Operation Education Project (OEP)
Objective:
To provide resources for better education to orphaned and underprivileged children in the underserved areas of the Philippines, India, Columbia, and Africa, ensuring they have access to the knowledge and skills needed for a secure future.
What we do
We fund academic programs, develop educational facilities, and supply learning materials to various orphanages and schools.
Impact and Future Goal
Thousands of children have been enrolled in schools, with a significant percentage advancing to higher levels of education. We aim to raise more funds to magnify our impact and reach more orphaned children across the world.
To facilitate the commute of underprivileged children to schools in Burkina Faso.
What we do
We provide bicycles to children to make it easier for them to get to and from school.
Impact and Future Goal
Over all, we distributed 300 bikes, enabling more children to attend school regularly and focus on their education rather than the hardships of their daily commute. We wish to increase this number so more children are empowered to pursue their educational dreams, unburdened by the challenges of distance and transportation. 2022 was our last successful completion of bikes project in Burkina Faso, and we know first-hand the profound impact on the lives of these children and their extended family. These bicycles will not only serve as a necessary means of transportation to school, but also as a symbol of hope for new opportunities and possibilities for the orphans in Burkina Faso.
To provide adequate school and classroom supplies to children studying in unfavorable conditions, primarily in the rural areas of India and Africa.
What we do
We work with other NGOs to collect funds via fundraisers and online charity campaigns for school maintenance. We use this money to furnish classrooms with desks so children in villages don’t have to study sitting on hard floors.
Impact and Future Goal
Classrooms that were once empty and dull have transformed into vibrant learning spaces filled with the laughter and engagement of eager young minds. Children are less likely to drop out of the education system because of ‘desk-less’ classrooms.
After installing 780 desks from 2011 to 2021, we could only raise funds for 100 desks in 2024. We aim to replenish people’s interest in donating to DCP, and our new target for 2024-2025 is to install 400 desks for four schools.
To ensure that no child’s education is hindered due to a lack of basic supplies like pencils and stationery.
What we do
Working in collaboration with several international organizations and independent schools that want to promote education access for the underprivileged, we collect and distribute pencils and other stationery to schools in need in the district of Didyr.
Impact and Future Goal
We have supplied thousands of pencils in Didyr, allowing children to participate fully in their education, take notes, and complete assignments.
From 2018-2019, we raised $2,000 to fund the back-to-school shopping for five schools. From 2019-2020, we supported six schools with a total donation of $3,500, and now, our goal is to provide basic school supplies to the whole district which is equivalent to $5,000.
To remove barriers to education by building schools, thereby reducing the educational disparity in Africa.
What we do
We collaborate with other NGOs to raise funds and develop educational programs. We focus on building additional classrooms to existing schools so more children can have a roof over their heads while they study.
Impact
So far, we have successfully built six additional classrooms in a school we first visited back in 2016. Our future plans include building four more classrooms to expand educational opportunities for these children.
Every contribution counts. Whether it’s a box of pencils or a monetary donation, your support can transform lives and light the way for these deserving children toward a brighter, more promising future.
Donate today and join us in making a world of difference for these children.
