Ways to Help Orphaned Children

We all know they're out there, far across the oceans, or maybe even in our own backyards... Babies, toddlers, teenagers who for whatever reason are alone in this world. Orphans, with no one connected to them by blood, or law, they move through their lives at the mercy of those presently in charge of them. Next month, next year, or tomorrow, the crib they occupy could be given to another as they are moved to a different environment. Imagine a childhood made up of such instability, where nothing and no one belongs to you



1. Seek them out. 
Do not allow yourself to forget the orphans.

2. Virtually adopt a child.
 Visit sites that list “waiting children” and pick out a child as your own. Print off pictures of the child to frame for your desk and to stick up on your fridge. Tell everyone about your adopted child and how they can help bless him or her.

3.Find a family that is adapting and adopt them
Adoption is an arduous and stressful process. Families who are in the throes of an adoption could use all kinds of support

4. Support organisations  that work to keep children with their families, educate cultures, and train care workers
Many children are separated from their parents due to natural disasters, disease, and poverty. Other children are left behind in maternity wards because they are born with “imperfections.

5. Get your feet wet and host an orphan 




This can also be done by other three ways which are as mentioned below



Donations

  • Donations to orphanages or to charities that support orphanages help to defray the costs of caring for orphaned children. In addition, donations are often used to improve facilities and provide education and services to children.

Volunteering

  • In many cases, orphanages don't have the funds for facilities construction and improvement and thus rely on volunteers to help build new structures and repair existing structures.

Adoption

  • Adoption is a direct way to help a smaller number of children. Although international adoption has come under close scrutiny because of notable celebrity adoptions and endemic problems of corruption in many international adoption cases
