The Hidden Toll of the Worldwide Orphan Crisis
Each Orphan Sunday observance brings together an estimated 123 nations to advocate for orphans. The majority will be advocating for adoption. Each year Haven of Hope International actively supports Orphan Sunday with a continued focus on the un-adopted. We pray that every child is placed in a loving family. However, the reality we know and live in each day is that not every orphaned, abandoned, or abused child will be adopted. Orphanages around the world continue to receive the children that are left behind. These children are who we focus on every day of the year. We have not only been called to serve the un-adopted — but to raise the standard of orphan care.
There worldwide orphan crisis is REAL— 153 million children. If we were to gather them together, they would be the 9th largest country in the world — the Nation of Orphans. Pause for a moment and think about that fact…larger than Russia, Mexico, Japan, and 223 other countries and territories according to the United Nations Population Division
The harsh reality is that 99% of them will never be adopted. They are a voiceless nation in need of ambassadors — people who have the heart to pray, advocate and provide the support needed to help them achieve the dreams that God has put in their hearts. Survival is their challenge. Orphan care homes are often their only safety net, one step away from a life on the streets. Even with the best intentions, most orphanages are barely surviving. Every day, children are aging out and are not prepared for adulthood…back to a life on the streets.
