Orphans Know More is a relationally based charity working to bring global communities and people closer together. We believe that the best way to tackle the growing international orphan crisis is to follow the Biblical principle of placing the lonely into families. Jinja in Southern Uganda is the site of Orphans Know More pilot project. It is there that around 30 local families have taken 150 Orphans in as their own, offering love, acceptance and care to these children without condition. These families of up to 15 children still function as a nuclear unit free from institutionalisation, inspiring hope in us all that this model can be replicated on a larger scale.

Orphans Know More have set out to:

• Increase the standard of living for these families
• Ensure that all children are able to attend school, have appropriate nutritional intake, and live in adequate housing
• Guarantee that all children who are unwell with HIV/ AIDS or other ailments are receiving the treatment they require
• Give 100% of money raised directly into these areas as well as funding a local social worker to assess the needs of the children and the care they are receiving

It is our hope that people in the UK will become linked to communities across the world, taking on their needs as if they were our local neighbours. We are gifted with the means to act on our compassion.

Orphans Know More believe in working together to give orphans a Face, a Family and a Future.
