OUR HISTORY

 

HISTORY IN BRIEF:   At its inception, our mission was founded when Orfund chairman Geoff Phillips met Brother Anandraj, who with his wife was running a small children's shelter in Madras, South India.  Through working together, an Indian trust was formed, which has since developed several orphan homes and foster care centres.

A year after that first providential meeting, ORFUND was registered in the UK, and after a brief period of working in Nepal, we have continued to partner other fledgling groups in India, all dedicated to rescuing and caring for orphans and vulnerable children. 

 

Our two most recent partners are the AMEN Trust, run by a former catholic priest; also the Shalom Family Home run by Pastor Solomon.

Our involvement in Africa started in 1999, when God seemed to point us in the direction of southern Africa, where we enjoyed working with children's agencies from three countries.

Since 2001 we have limited our African mission to Malawi, where we have assisted a family to form a small trust organisation running the Molima Family Home, this being principally concerned with rescuing and caring for the most needy of the region's orphans.
