About World Orphans
World Orphans is a U.S.-based faith-centered nonprofit that preserves and strengthens families by equipping local churches to provide wholistic, family-based care for orphaned and vulnerable children through its Home Based Care (HBC) model.
The organization is registered as a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity (tax-exempt since the 1990s) and operates through church-to-church partnerships, short-term vision trips, economic-empowerment programs and targeted refugee/family services in multiple countries. In its recent impact summary World Orphans reports thousands of people (children, widows, refugees and vulnerable families) reached through its programs and continues to expand localized initiatives such as legal registration in Guatemala (early 2024) and ongoing refugee services in northern Iraq.
Notable achievements

Major refugee infrastructure and services in Iraq
Over more than a decade of work in northern Iraq the organization developed large-scale infrastructure and services—housing for refugee families, a refugee school/preschool, medical and dental clinics, and vocational training programs—creating pathways to stability for displaced families.
