8 Ways You Can Care for the Orphan and Waiting Children

1. PRAY for them
2. PROVIDE for their needs
  • Financial gifts can be designated for specific items and aid needed by orphans. Visit Hopechest.org to learn about the "Water for Life" Campaign.
  • Organize a drive in your place of work or organization to collect new clothes and backpacks for children in foster care. Contact Isaiah's Cry - Paul Williams at paulwilliams@isaiahscry.org
3. SUPPORT those who support them

  • Mow grass, baby sit, or organize meals for a week for foster parents. Pray with them and tell them you appreciate what they do. Encourage a family adopting an older child by hosting a shower for them.

4. PROTECT them from harm

  • Become a foster parent or emergency foster parent. Raise money to build a children’s home to help remove children from the streets. Visit: Rwandanblessing.com to view "Village of Hope" (click on "ongoing projects")

5. VISIT them where they are

  • Go on a mission trip to an orphanage as an individual or family. Visit Hopechest.org for information.


  • Take dinner to a foster group-home on a regular basis.

6. ENCOURAGE them to press on

  • Sponsor a child, support them financially, and encourage them through your letters. Visit Hopechest.org to learn more. Become a mentor or tutor to a teenager in a foster group-home.

7. ADOPT them into your family

  • Give a child a home through international, domestic, or foster care adoption.


  • Adopt a young adult who has aged out of the system.

8. MOBILIZE your communities for them

  • Use your connections, resources, and talents…stir others to action!
