EnglishWhat Is Lifesong for Orphans?
Updated
Lifesong for Orphans is a Christian nonprofit ministry that helps orphans and vulnerable children find families and receive care. It works through three main channels: adoption financial assistance, global orphan care, and church partnership. If you are considering donating, requesting adoption fundraising help, or getting your church involved in orphan care, Lifesong is designed to serve those needs. Its stated commitment is that every dollar given goes directly to helping orphans.
What Lifesong for Orphans Does
The organization frames its mission around a simple idea: lack of money should never be the reason a child doesn't have a family. It describes orphans as among the most vulnerable people in the world and positions its work as Gospel-centered care.
Its work falls into three areas.
Adoption Financial Assistance
The high cost of adoption is described as the number one reason families who want to adopt don't. Lifesong helps Christian families overcome financial barriers through fundraising solutions so they can bring vulnerable children into loving families.
Global Orphan Care
Lifesong provides holistic, Gospel-centered daily care, education, and discipleship to orphaned and vulnerable children in developing countries. It says this support continues as children transition into adult living.
Church Partnership
Churches can start a no-cost, personalized adoption fund to create financial solutions for adoptive families. Churches can also engage in global orphan care through mission teams and sponsorship.
How Giving Works
Lifesong states that 100% of your gift goes directly to helping children in need. Donations can be directed to its "Where Most Needed" fund.
The site also runs matching campaigns. During one Christmas campaign, gifts to Where Most Needed were matched up to $2,500,000 through December 31, 2025, doubling the impact. Matching amounts and deadlines change by campaign, so check the current campaign page before giving if matching is a factor in your decision.
