World Without Orphans Europe is part of a global movement pursuing a world where every child is cared for in a safe and loving family, and reaches their God-given potential.
ONLINE TRAINING OPPORTUNITY:
Mobilising Churches for Vulnerable Children and Families
Wednesday, April 24th at 3pm (UK), 4pm (CET), 5pm (EET)
We invite you to join a 90-minute online learning session about church mobilisation for vulnerable children and families. You will access experience of successful church engagement and mobilisation in eastern Europe, western Europe, and will hear of a new research-based initiative to learn from and engage with church leaders in Albania.
Children best develop and thrive in safe, stable and nurturing families. We at WWO Europe are working in countries across Europe to improve the lives of the 860 000 children living in some form of alternative care.1
We dream of churches engaged, families strong and children thriving. Our partners in Albania, Moldova and elsewhere reach out to vulnerable communities to keep the children in safe families, and so prevent orphanhood.
In countries where family-based care is the norm, there is often a shortage of carers. For example, in England there is estimated to be a deficit in recruitment of around 25,000 foster care families by 2025.2 Get in touch to know more about how you can promote foster care in your country.
Since the war in Ukraine started we've been actively involved in caring for displaced Ukrainian children and families. Contact us about partnering to serve displaced children and teens from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Middle East and other regions.
“I have never been involved with anything in my life with something so obviously from God – it felt like building something that was catching the wind of God. We experienced amazing answers to prayer.”
Phil Green, former Chair of WWO Europe, speaking of his time as executive of UK charity Home for Good
“Separately we are strong, but together we are powerful.”
