Many children live in orphanages and have no hope of ever being adopted. Life International (LI) provides for these children in the following ways:

Improving Living Conditions. Through financial support and mission teams, LI provides basic needs: food, clothing,
bedding, orphanage facility renovations, and medical supplies for hospitals and clinics.

Constant Christian Presence (CCP). In order to provide Biblical training, LI hires national Christians who work in the orphanages on a full-time basis. In each orphanage, LI renovates a room supplied with books, games, and videos where children can come to learn in a comfortable and safe environment.

Job Skill Training. To prepare the children for their future role
in society, LI provides practical training with farm animals
and equipment, sewing machines, baking equipment, and computer labs.

Graduate Program. To transition successfully into adult life, graduates need the support and accountability a church family provides. LI provides transitional housing and encourages lasting relationships with weekly Bible studies, counseling, and transportation to church activities.
