Why we need your support
Social Challenges We Address
- Orphanhood and Poverty: Many children lose their families due to poverty, war, or disease (especially HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis).
- Lack of Educational Opportunities: In developing countries, children often miss out on education due to financial hardship.
- Impact of HIV/AIDS: In Zambia, many children orphaned by HIV/AIDS need urgent support to access education and basic care.
- Insufficient Infrastructure: Many regions lack adequate facilities for education, healthcare, and welfare.
- Why Support Matters: NPO The Cornerstone Orphanage provides safe environments and access to education, helping children build independent futures.
Message
NPO The Cornerstone Orphanage began in Cambodia in 1997. Since then, we’ve expanded to Zambia, the Philippines, and are preparing for future projects in Brazil and beyond.
Our vision is to build orphanages in over 90 countries across all five continents. We believe every child deserves love, care, and the opportunity to thrive—no matter where they are born.
We hope you’ll join us in bringing hope to children around the world.
