[Thinking Beyond Orphanages]

[General Info]

Creating a new paradigm in orphan care that provides real homes and real

families for orphans.

MISSON

To create economically self-sufficient, environmentally green, high-technology based Communities in which street orphans live in a family, have surrogate parents and grandparents, receive healthcare, continue their education, learn computer skills, participate in social & recreational activities, receive job skills training and have an opportunity to attend college so They are better prepared for their and their country’s future.

VISION

The global vision of O.F.O.C. is to improve the life and environment of orphans of any race, religion or gender throughout the world. This is done with an organization that establishes, in developing countries, economically self-sustaining Orphan Communities that purposefully integrate profit making businesses with family style childcare for orphans.

Other orphanages depend on limited donations, rarely have sufficient food or other resources, and cannot provide the children with quality education, job skills, knowledge of family, or social skills. Children grow up thinkning that in life people just give you things. The children are not well prepared for their or their country’s future.

[We Are Not Creating Another Orphanage.]

WE ARE CREATING

A community with proven businesses that provide jobs, skill training, food and the financial resources that help families of the community be able to adopt more children from orphanages, and provide them with love, guidance, education, computer and job skills, social and cultural activities that will prepare them for personal success and to become leaders in their own community and country.
