World Without OrphansWorld Without Orphans is a movement of Christians from around the globe working together towards the vision of a world without orphans.
WWO encourages and equips national believers to care for orphans within their own country. The movement was originally started in Ukraine, through Ukraine Without Orphans. Since then, it has expanded to Russia, Belarus, Latvia, and Romania. Movements are currently being formed in Bangladesh, India, Hungary, Kenya, Colombia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Nepal, and Ethiopia.
It is so exciting to see Christians around the world catch a vision for adoption and foster care! A Family for Every Orphan has been actively involved with World Without Orphans from its inception. So far, we have specifically supported "Without Orphans" movements in Russia, Ukraine, Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Uganda, Kenya, Romania and Kyrgyzstan. We are continuing to expand our partnerships to other countries!
A Family for Every Orphan currently partners with the following "Without Orphans" movements*:

Ukraine Without Orphans is a movement of Christians, churches, and organizations, working in unity with a common goal to reach every orphan with genuine Christian care, provide an opportunity for every child to live in a loving family; and prevent the abandonment of children.
Ukraine Without Orphans is an alliance of 120 Ukrainian non-profit organizations and has worked with 10,000 Ukrainian churches. In addition to actively supporting Ukraine Without Orphans, A Family for Every Orphan specifically partners with the four UWO partner organizations listed below:
“Otchiy Dim” (Father's House) is a charity founded by Roman Korniiko in 1996, in response to the problem of child homelessness in Ukraine. Today “Otchiy Dim” is an integral system of innovative consecutive programs featuring holistic rehabilitation of children coming from dangerous conditions. Children spend time in foster families with the goal of reuniting them with their biological families or, if that isn’t possible, preparing them for adoption or independent living. Ultimately, Father's House works to heal wounds and prepare these children for healthy integration into society. |
| International Leadership and Development Center is an international non – government organization focused on promoting child welfare best practice and the highest standards in Ukraine and other countries through trainings, consultations, publications and services. |
|
The ministry of You Will Be Found in Slavyansk, Ukraine is a multifaceted ministry to orphans and children at risk. We believe that Christians are truly able to change the fate of orphans in our country. |
| The charity “Pilgrim” began over ten years ago with the efforts of a simple Ukrainian pastor who was overcome by the plight of the street children in his city. His ministry to street children started out small—at first, he and people from his church would take food to the children in the evenings. Later, they found an old abandoned building that the kids could sleep in. They were able to purchase the building and remodel it into a home for street children. Those small beginnings have transformed into what is now the largest rehabilitation program in the territory of the former USSR. |

Russia Without Orphans is a movement of Christians, churches, and organizations, working in unity with a common goal to reach every orphan with genuine Christian care, provide an opportunity for every child to live in a loving family; and prevent the abandonment of children.
In addition to actively supporting Russia Without Orphans, A Family for Every Orphan specifically partners with the three RWO partner organizations listed below:
Galina Obrovets spearheads the Orphan Initiative movement in Moscow, Russia, motivating Russian Christians to adopt orphans through conferences, church presentations, contacts with government officials, the media, and other means. |
| Through its School for Adoptive and Foster Families, this Russian national organization provides training seminars and produces training resources for families who have adopted orphans or are considering adoption or foster care. |
|
Light of Love works in close collaboration with churches of various denominations in the St. Petersburg region to identify potential families, and then to help those families through the adoption process with a holistic approach that addresses the legal, spiritual, emotional, and psychological aspects involved. |
