Description:
Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) was founded by Jim Luce in 1999 as a response to the global crisis facing orphaned children.
OIWW has established a network of locally incorporated homes to house and educate children orphaned and abandoned after the 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, and Hurricane Jeanne in Haiti.
OIWW's Family Care model arranges for individual child sponsors to provide on-going, monthly stipends for the financial, health and educational support of orphans living in the poorest families.
OIWW also provides school oversight, after school tutoring, enrichment programs, health checkups, and monitoring of the child’s well being, including the foster siblings.
