History of WOF

In the past five years World Orphan Fund has made immense progress in its current country of focus, Cambodia. A major initiative when we started was to create a new volunteer team and support network to facilitate access to emergency relief and medical aid. As a result, World Orphan Fund Cambodia was established — our on-the-ground local volunteer team, which has enabled us to reach out to many poverty-stricken communities through various projects.

A major branch of WOF is our Orphan Sponsorship program, which provides vulnerable children with the resources and facilities to grow and develop emotionally, physically, socially and mentally. We also run numerous annual projects — Ramadan food packs across South-East Asia, Qurban meat distribution, emergency flood relief, and Zakaat and Sadaqa throughout the year — and work with international vision partners to send aid to famine stricken Somalia, refugees in Jordan, and beyond.
