Caring for 18+ Orphans
We believe our role is to be protective but not overbearing. Just as parents save for their children with the hope – but not the guarantee – that their children will use their assets wisely, we believe in offering support and independence to orphans without demanding their compliance. We believe that empowering them in this way is itself a vital part of their maturation.
As a supplement to these financial assets, we will provide a platform for various stakeholders to provide training, guidance, and encouragement for orphans to employ the funds in asset-enhancing activities like investing in higher education or initiating a business.
The OrphanCare team identified and profiled Orphans who were registered with OrphanCare and reached the age of 18 to facilitate value adding engagement towards guiding them in the right direction with financial and qualitative support. Such profiling was done capturing their educational levels, language skills and career aspirations based on which the OrphanCare team facilitated their needs by matching their requirements with forthcoming donors of both individual and institutional capacity. This will continue to be a strong area of focus and engagement of the OrphanCare initiative.
