Faith in action
Our Christian calling becomes practical care for people in distress.
Our Mission
Support a mission of faith and care
for African orphans and widows.
Our Christian mission connects compassionate care with lasting opportunity for orphans, widows and displaced families.
Our Mission
A purpose expressed through practical care.
Rooted in Christ’s love, OWAID seeks to protect, look after and empower refugee orphans and widows. Housing, education, skills and essential care are practical ways to help restore stability and dignity.
We believe every person has worth. Our Christian identity invites us to serve people of every background, without making religious participation a requirement for humanitarian assistance.
Our vision reaches beyond the next delivery.
We work toward a future in which children have safe care and learning opportunities, and widows have the support and skills to rebuild independent lives.
That vision calls for steady relationships, responsible use of gifts and attention to the voices of the people a program is intended to help.
Faithful stewardship
We value clear records, responsible decisions and honest communication.
Dignity first
Every person deserves respect, safety and a voice in their future.
Lasting opportunity
We connect immediate help with learning, skills and independence.
Together, we can help
a family begin again.
Give toward a home, a school year or the everyday care that makes a future possible.
