Frequently Asked Questions

The Orphan's Hands is a faith-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 47-4457291) that rescues orphaned and vulnerable teenagers in Moldova from homelessness and trafficking. Teens who would otherwise age out of state institutions are raised in real family homes at Vatra Village, with education, vocational training, and the love of Christ.

Vatra Village is The Orphan's Hands' family-home community in Moldova. Instead of an institution, each teen lives in a real home as part of a family — going to school, learning life and vocational skills, and growing up surrounded by faith. Many later return as missionaries to the same villages they were rescued from.

Donations fund a whole-life program for every teen in our care: safe family homes at Vatra Village, food, clothing, education, and vocational training, plus tons of humanitarian aid shipped by container each year to Moldova and Ukraine. You can give $1 per day, make a one-time gift, or sponsor a $500 aid pallet.

The ministry began in 1990, when founder Philip Cameron walked into a bitterly cold orphanage in Romania and met a starving little boy named Andrew. Philip and his wife Chrissie later welcomed Andrew into their family through adoption — and the promise made that day grew into the ministry that today rescues and raises orphaned teens in Moldova. Andrew now plays a pivotal role in that work.
