Who we are
Empowering Orphans, Building Futures
We are dedicated to providing long-term, consistent support to orphan children and their families in need. Our teams are here to ensure the children in our care will grow and develop in their confidence over time and have a chance for a better and brighter future.
Founded by Anis Musa in 2004 after a visit to India, Orphans in Need UK has inspired the launch of Orphans In Need USA (OIN-USA) in 2021. Now spanning 14 countries, our organization is committed to providing ongoing support to orphaned children and their families. Our dedicated teams prioritize the growth and development of these children, helping them build their confidence over time.
In addition, we at Orphans In Need USA strive to become the preferred charity for donors based in the United States, specifically for those who are passionate about supporting widows, single mothers, and orphans. We view our beneficiaries as partners, and we are committed to making a lifelong impact on the lives of these incredible women and children.
The UK-based Orphans in Need Global serves as our headquarters, and we are proud to support and care for over 30,000 orphans and their families across countries such as Somalia, Mali, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. Since our establishment in 2005, we have been devoted to assisting those struggling to survive and sustain themselves. Our teams work tirelessly in poverty-stricken areas, offering regular food parcels, funding access to education, essential medical care, and providing supportive and nurturing homes for orphans through our Orphans Village project and Global Orphan Care.
As pioneers in the field of orphan care and child sponsorship, we have made a significant difference in the lives of many young individuals who may have otherwise been lost. We work with some of the world’s poorest countries and provide much-needed assistance to innocent lives caught up in conflicts.
