Calling

OUR PURPOSE

We exist for one reason: to provide a loving residential environment that serves the emotional, physical, and developmental needs of orphaned, abandoned and disadvantaged children in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

OUR HOPE

Find caring partners to help us meet the needs of the children at Open Arms. Together, with the generous support of donors and the love of our volunteers and staff, we want our children to know the love of neighbor and the love of our caring God.

OUR MISSION

Raise $850,000 annually to fully support our children, from pre-school to adulthood. No one is the United States is being paid - 100% of our funds raised go to the support of the kids and efforts to raise more funds.
