Supporting Orphans Through Grace Orphanage

At IWOF, our heart is with the children. Through our partnership with Grace Orphanage, we provide long-term care for orphaned and vulnerable children in Uvira, Democratic Republic of Congo. This permanent home offers safety, nourishment, education, and above all, a sense of family.

Since 2017, we’ve helped support the development of a secure, multi-home facility that now cares for up to 60 children and 5 staff members. The compound includes housing, a library, an admin office, a 3,800 sq. ft. learning centre, and farmland for growing food, creating a safe, self-sustaining environment where children can truly thrive.

Thanks to your support, these children receive the essentials many of us take for granted: food, clean water, medical care, education, and love. They are raised in a community that welcomes children from all backgrounds, regardless of tribe or religion.

To learn more about the incredible work being done, visit grace-orphanage.org.

Want to get involved? Your donations directly support the daily needs of these children. Every dollar goes where it’s needed most, with no admin fees, ever.

Give hope. Give a future. Support the children of Grace Orphanage today.

Because They Need Our Help

There is a reason so many of these children are orphaned. They live in a war-torn region where safety, stability, and basic needs are out of reach. Watch the video below to see the harsh realities they face, and how your support is helping us protect, care for, and uplift them. Together, we can give them the future they deserve.
