Church Orphan Homes
It's a home not an institution; Warm Blankets Orphan Care doesn't do orphanages. Instead, orphans are raised in family environments. This fresh, dynamic approach to confronting the world orphan crisis through establishing and supporting church-based family homes has proven to be extremely successful. Our donors have helped to establish over 140 church orphan homes throughout Africa, Cambodia, India, Indonesia and Thailand.
Each home has a family atmosphere based on love and compassion. Every home shares a building with the local Christian church. The pastor is like the father, and the care givers are like moms, aunts and grandmas.
Widows are the principal caregivers in each orphan care facility. They understand the pain each orphan faces, having experienced loss as well. We maintain a staff ratio of one caregiver for every five children, so you can be assured that a frightened child will be held and comforted by someone who cares.
This unique church home combination provides an effective method of meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of each orphan.
Each home has the capacity to house about 40 children. The homes provide beneficial, nurturing, holistic care to parentless infants, children, and adolescents.
