33 Days of Christmas, 33 Days of Hope

Does the countdown to Christmas fill you with anxiety and stress?

Instead, World Orphans wants the 33 days before Christmas to fill you with hope and faith.

During the next few weeks we want to introduce you to 33 of the children whose lives have been impacted by the faithful partners of World Orphans.

These 33 are just the beginning of a much larger story. The story of thousands of orphaned and abandoned children being taken in by the local church in areas like Haiti, Ethiopia, China, South Africa, Uganda, Thailand and more.

Share these stories with your family. Some of them will include a printable ornament with the child’s picture that you can hang on your Christmas tree to remind you to pray for that child.

We hope that as you meet these children you’ll be encouraged and inspired.
