Orphan World Relief
In 1998, Doug Riggle traveled to Kiev, Ukraine, to complete mission work. During his trip, Riggle met a wonderful group of young boys who lacked homes and parents. After discovering the boys sleeping under a bridge one morning, Riggle decided to help the abandoned children. Once an orphan himself, Riggle founded Orphan World Relief (OWR) as a nonprofit dedicated to serving the needs of underprivileged kids, particularly children without parents, throughout the world. According to the organization’s website, currently between 147 and 210 million children across the globe live without parents, and many of these young individuals lack basic human essentials, such as adequate food, shelter, medicine, and access to an education. OWR focuses its efforts on assisting local orphanages and orphan relief initiatives. Through these partnerships, OWR hopes to improve the overall quality of life for children of all ages who live in underserved areas. In addition, OWR strives to foster the feeling of belonging to a warm and loving community. Partners of OWR include Great Commission Churches; Greater than Goods, owned by Sigler Companies, Inc.; and Into the Field, as well as other companies and organizations at the national and regional level. Operating internationally, OWR provides a wide array of vital services to children living in Bolivia, India, Russia, and Ukraine.
One of the primary challenges facing many people in Bolivia lies in gaining access to adequate medical care. Approximately 20,000 children live on the street in this country, and OWR works with Casa de Amor, a local organization, to find homes for and provide food and medical care to the youngest of these children. In India, OWR assists a young couple in Nizamabad committed to helping the country’s 11 million orphaned children, 1 child at a time. OWR’s outreach efforts in Russia center on children ages 16 to 17 who find themselves expelled from the country’s orphanage system and left to fend for themselves. Research shows that the majority of these abandoned adolescents go on to lives of crime, drug addiction, or prostitution, and individuals in this demographic arena exhibit a higher suicide rate than that of the general population. In conjunction with The Harbor, a residential transition program, OWR works to provide intermediary living services to these teenagers, including temporary housing as well as job training and coaching. In Ukraine, OWR supports Jeremiah’s Hope, a Christian mission organization that addresses children’s spiritual, as well as physical, needs.
