Interfaith, because there are many paths
up the mountain.
Every child in our
care is raised in the faith traditions of their parents. OI Children today are raised as Catholics,
Baptists, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus. Our supporters come from these same
traditions, as well as Judaism, Humanism, and no faith traditions.
Interracial
, because there is one race -
the human race. OI kids reflect all
the diversities of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Our global staff, our Boards, and our
volunteers likewise reflect a mosaic of ethnicity.

International,
because our neighbors are our family.Orphans International
is open today in Indonesia, Haiti, Sri Lanka and the Dominican Republic. We continue to explore
options to help children in Africa (Kenya, Liberia, Ghana, and Togo),
Asia (India, China, the Philippines) and the Americas (Guyana).
Intergenerational,
because
the original concept
was born of three generations: conceived by OIs founder, with care modeled
after the care provided to his son, with the initial feasibility study edited
and ultimately funded by his mother. In each of our projects, at least three
generations work together.
Internet-Connected, because knowledge today is at our fingertips. OI's children are connected to our child sponsors and the world at large through the Internet. Our laptop donation program makes much of this possible.
