We wanted to share with you the current Global Orphan Relief Candid profile.

Through research, collaboration, and training, Candid connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to do it.

In 2023, we were honored to serve in new places within Asia with continued roll-out of our Church Mobilization Initiative.

We continued to scale our care initiatives (Home-Based Care, Education, & Nutrition) where we cared for an average of 2,465 each month.

June is no different as we have set out to care for more than 2,700 orphan children in our three care initiatives; Home-Based Care, Education, and Nutrition and plan to impact another 12,600 children through our Church Mobilization efforts.

We look forward to seeing what God does with us next!

Great Commandment Academy launches in Kenya

The team in Nairobi has been working on the launch of a learning platform for our GO! Ambassadors in Kenya. Our plan is to roll this out for additional countries, which will require additional languages, later in 2024 and into 2025.

More than 30 local ministry leaders joined us in an exchange of ideas, and encouragement regarding serving orphan children.

I have been told during travels to Africa that “water is life”. None of us can live without water, and for many, one of the necessities of life is very difficult to come by.

2024 Reach 10/40 Mission. I am ramping up preparation for a return to Asia for our Reach 10/40 Mission. I am eager to meet with the Pastors there that have been instrumental in our Church Mobilization Initiative roll-out. 

This mission should result in 325 GO! Ambassadors being commissioned, which will eventually benefit 1,973 orphan children. We can project these expectations based on data that we have collected on the five workshops conducted in Asia thus far over the last year.

At JOY Education Centre, the total student body numbers 84, with 23 of these students being orphan children. Since it is difficult to deny assistance to most of the children, GO!’s support for food for the children assist us in feeding all of the students. I am also honored to announce that our students scored above the Kenyan Education standards in all eleven categories measured.

Today, we are supporting 1,768 vulnerable children through our Nutrition Initiative in Africa & Asia. JOY Education Centre is located in Lucky Summer Estate -Nairobi, Kenya.

We have been providing food aid at Beliek Primary School since 2016. Today, there are 901 vulnerable children that attend this school, with 390 of these students being orphaned children.

The State of our Movement is strong. We raised more funding in 2023 than any time in our ministry with 224 Funding Partners that provided a total of $384,076 during the year. In the field, we impacted a record number of children with 16,196 impacted in December, which was made possible by the hard work of thirteen Field Partners who facilitated work in sixteen distinct Mission Projects in six countries.
