"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…” James 1:27
We're Intervening for the
8 Million Orphans
Living in institutions. We do this in five ways
Prevent
We prevent more children from ever entering institutions by stabilizing families.
Provide
We provide family-like care by collaborating with institutions and training caregivers in our holistic model.
Place
We place orphans into loving foster and adoptive families in the U.S. and abroad.
Prepare
We prepare aging out orphans to thrive outside of an institution through education and mentorship.
Policy
We create policy to change broken systems for orphans and create clear paths to family and independence.

17-year-old Berhe has hope for a bright future thanks to the support he’s received through AGCI’s Education Sponsorship program in Ethiopia! Tragically, Berhe’s mother passed away and his father disappeared when he was very young. Berhe and his four siblings live with their older sister and her family—remarkably, 10 people live in their small, one-room home. For the past 8 years, Berhe’s education has been fully sponsored—this support has allowed Berhe to attend school, remain with his siblings and follow his dream of attending university to become a doctor!

This sweet girl now has hope for a bright future thanks to the loving, elevated care she received.

“The other day I was watching through the window as Oliver ran outside to jump on the trampoline with his cousins. They always have a great time laughing and playing together. Meanwhile, Ethan was giggling uncontrollably as his Papa tickled and cuddled him. In that moment, I realized the full impact of adoption. Not only were the lives of these two little boys radically changed, but our lives, those of our family and friends, and those we have yet to meet, have all been and will be enriched by adoption. Joy is contagious.” — Nate Williams, AGCI Adoptive Dad

Almost 5 years ago, Eleonora was removed from her family’s care and placed in an orphanage. Eleonora’s childhood was filled with crime and forced labor, and at one point, she was even sent to Greece to work to support her family. On the verge of aging out of the system, Eleonora now has the chance to break the cycle of poverty thanks to AGCI’s Independence program! Today, Eleonora is attending hairdressing school and has hope for a bright, independent future.
