Why OrFA?
Orphans’ Futures Alliance (OrFA) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization with HQ based in New York, and local presence in Thailand and Vietnam. We believe in the power of education to change people’s lives. Our mission is to provide orphans in impoverished Southeast Asian communities with access to primary, secondary, and postsecondary education and mentoring.
We believe by providing the children with a chance at a proper education, it will allow them to develop both personally and professionally, and be their best self.
We will always operate with the utmost integrity and best practices to preserve the trust of our donors, partners, and volunteers.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide orphans in impoverished Southeast Asian communities with access to education and mentoring in order to break the cycle of poverty.
OrFA’s vision for the next 5 years is to grow our scholarship and mentoring programs to more eligible orphans in Vietnam and expand these initiatives to rural communities. In Thailand, OrFA will continue to support orphans with scholarships. In 2022, we launched our first mentoring class 10 children in Chiang Mai, with 10 to 15 children joining next year. OrFA continues to build partnerships within the community and collaborating with regulatory bodies for best practices. As we continue to expand to other Southeast Asian countries that would benefit from our programs, we actively look for opportunities where we can make the biggest impact.
