Save Orphans Ministries

Save Orphans Ministries (SOM) is helping provide food, education and clothing to orphaned children through direct support to orphan-care groups. Indirect support to increase the income and food security of families caring for orphans helps to ensure orphan’s health and sense of belonging. SOM registers orphans and provides older orphans with school fees and supplies to ensure their continued development in school so they will become valued members of their communities. Orphans take part in Bible Camps and Kids Clubs where they learn biblical values and truths from their study of Bible stories

As SOM helps communities put together orphans and orphan care-givers they also work to make sure the care-givers can provide the needed support to incorporate the orphans into their families. Care-givers learn more effective farming techniques to increase their food production so they can properly care for the orphans. Some families supporting orphans receive goats to raise in order to increase their income. Adult literacy classes encourage care-givers to grow in confidence and voice so they take a more active role in community and church leadership.
