OUR MISSION
Empowering Families & Communities
One Less Orphan empowers families and communities to address financial, developmental and emotional needs of orphans.
There are an estimated 153 Million orphans in the world—a number equal to almost half the population of the United States.It is estimated that anywhere from 80% to 90% of these children are what is called “social orphans.” They are in care because family members are no longer able to provide for their basic needs.
OUR CURRENT PROJECT
Annual Adoption Seminar
Since 2023, One Less Orphan has been hosting adoption seminar every spring in Teaneck, New Jersey for those families who are intereted in adopting a child. At the seminar, attendees:
- Hear powerful testimonies from adoptive families
- Listen to a representative from HOLT International about the global orphan crisis
- Gain practical guidance within the adoption process
- Discover how they can take meaningful steps forward--whether now or in the future
- Have opportunities to connect with other like-minded families
OUR COMPLETED PROJECT
Orphanage Renovation Project
In 2023, One Less Orphan raised donations to support KyungAn orphanage in Andong, South Korea.
We reached 100% of donation goal ($75,000) and KyungAn orphanage completed their renovation project in February 2024. Thank you for showing your generosity!
KyungAn Orphanage
Established on May 19, 1952 by a local pastor (Jih Ho Kim) to nurture children requiring protection during the 6.25 War, who lost their parents or who have no relatives to protect them, KyungAn orphanage currently works with 38 children and 30 staff members (as of October 2023) to live in a family-like community.
Our Priority
