[Business Model]
[Thinking Beyond Orphanages] Creating a new paradigm in orphan care that provides real homes and real families for orphans.
[We Are Not Creating Another Orphanage.] Our project is to create an economically self-sufficient charity serving street orphans that does not keep asking you for more money all the time, but is still able to proved children with homes, families, healthcare, education, computer skills and job skills for their future and the future of their country.
MISSON To create economically self-sufficient, environmentally green, high-technology based Communities in which street orphans live in a family, have surrogate parents and grandparents, receive healthcare, continue their education, learn computer skills, participate in social & recreational activities, receive job skills training and have an opportunity to attend college so They are better prepared for their and their country’s future.
VISION The global vision of O.F.O.C. is to improve the life and environment of orphans of any race, religion or gender throughout the world. This is done with an organization that establishes, in developing countries, economically selfsustaining Orphan Communities that purposefully integrate profit making businesses with family style childcare for orphans.
“Thus the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees.� arthur schopenhauer
WE ARE CREATING A community with proven businesses that provide jobs, skill training, food and the financial resources that help families of the community be able to adopt more children from orphanages, and provide them with love, guidance, education, computer and job skills, social and cultural activities that will prepare them for personal success and to become leaders in their own community and country.
OUR ECONOMIC MODEL Unlike some other charities, our model is to eventually allow for the communities we have created to become completely self-sufficient. Eventually the families that live within the orphan communities will be able to completely fund themselves.
