Help provide nutritious meals to vulnerable children around the world

Every day, thousands of children supported by Orphans Aid International need nutritious meals to grow, learn, and thrive. Our Feeding 5000 campaign aims to provide meals to 5,000 children in our care across multiple countries.

Your gift today makes an immediate impact. Every contribution brings hope to children facing poverty and hardship.

In places like Kolkata, India, your donation provides more than just food – it offers children stability, health, and the opportunity for a better future. Our feeding programmes are a vital lifeline, ensuring children receive the nutrition they need to develop and succeed.

On average, a basic healthy meal costs around $2 in our project areas within very poor communities.

We have at least 5,000 children to feed with many more waiting. Currently some children only receive one meal weekly. We need to do more.

Feeding 5000 will take place across social media, and on Thursday 1 May 2025, will be broadcast live on radio and digital with Rhema, Life FM, and Sanctuary. Tune in to follow progress during the day!

How Your Donation Helps

$30 – Feeds one child for two weeks!
$60 – Feeds two children for two weeks!
$120 – Feeds four children for two weeks!
$1,500 – Feeds fifty children for two weeks! (enables us to take larger food packs to very poor communities like Ukrainian refugees who have fled to Bulgaria and/or Romania).

Partner in this critical mission. Join us in Feeding 5000 children and change lives one meal at a time.
