World Without Orphans is pleased to announce that the full WWO Roadmap is now available in Arabic, making world-class tools and practical guidance accessible to leaders serving children and families across the Middle East. This milestone comes at a crucial time, as Christian leaders in the region are working faithfully to support families who are breaking under pressure and children who are growing up without adequate care.

Around the world, poverty is one of the main reasons children are separated from their families and placed in residential care. In Thailand, research shows that most children in institutions still have living relatives who simply lack support.

Children with disabilities are among the most vulnerable and most easily overlooked. In many countries, they continue to grow up in institutions even when their parents are alive. Families facing poverty, stigma, or a lack of support often feel they have no choice, believing an institution will meet their child’s needs better than they can at home.

WWO global leaders, partner organizations, and churches worldwide took part in taking the day to find ways to pause and reflect on how best to help those who are orphaned among us.

World Without Orphans knows that we are stronger together. We have been blessed to work alongside leaders who are striving to see more children in safe and loving families and to help end orphanhood right where they live.
