Telos Orphan Partners
Helping Every Orphan Find a Good Home
Shared wisdom
What if you could learn from others who have faced the same challenges?
- Help children remain safely in families
- Strengthen foster or kinship care
- Prepare young people for independent adulthood
- Make sponsorship more helpful to children and families
- Improve education or livelihood programs
- Strengthen local churches and community partners
- Understand whether your programs are really helping
- Demonstrate your impact more clearly
- Find practical help for a challenge your team is facing
Someone in the orphan-care community has probably wrestled with the same question. Orphan Care Compass helps bring those lessons to your ministry.
Guidance in context
Practical help for the ministry you’re actually leading
A small church ministry should not receive the same advice as a multi-country NGO.
Orphan Care Compass considers your ministry’s context, then offers a few ideas appropriate to where you are today.
Orphan Care Compass considers
- Size and resources
- Service model
- Location
- Programs
- Audiences
- Stage of development
- Publicly available evidence
Made for ministry leaders
Built for the people doing the work
You do not need to be a large organization. You do not need a research department.
You just need a desire to keep learning how to care for children and families well.
- Local churches and church ministries
- Family-strengthening programs
- Foster and kinship care
- Residential care
- Child sponsorship
- Education programs
- Youth-transition programs
- Livelihood and economic-strengthening programs
- Community development
- Organizations that equip other ministries
A calling that became a mission
Why We Exist
Telos is rooted in Christian faith and in a calling Scott Rauth received in 2008: to help every orphan find a good home.
Technology and collaboration are means toward that mission, not the mission itself.
