Caring for an orphaned child in the name of a loved one is a wonderful way to honor them. Whether you’re giving for a special occasion or in someone’s memory, you’ll leave a legacy on their behalf by caring for the least of these.

Gifts in Honor

Throughout the year, there are all kinds of celebrations that inspire people like you to give in someone’s honor. At Every Orphan’s Hope, Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day are some of the most popular!

Consider giving in someone’s honor for their birthday, graduation, or other milestone. When you do, we’ll mail a card to let your loved one know about the lasting impact that will be made in Zambia through them.

Gifts in Memory

Carry on the legacy of a loved one by caring for orphaned and vulnerable children in their memory. Through your thoughtful gift, lives in Zambia will be changed, making a lasting impact for generations to come. We will create a special link that is easily shared so you can invite family and friends to join you in honoring their memory. Your gift will help provide loving homes, education, and the hope of Christ to children who need it most. Together, we can turn remembrance into a powerful force for good, ensuring that their legacy continues to bring light and love to the next generation.

For Christians, this isn’t just a legal process, it is also an act of worship, as you lay everything you are and have before the Lord for His purposes.

Retain. You have access to your God-given resources for the remainder of your lifetime, or for as long as you need them.
