Nine Ways You Can Uplift an Orphan this Christmas
This Christmas, give a gift that can change a life forever. Through our charitable giving catalog, you can bring hope to an orphan or widow who feels forgotten. Remind them they are not alone as they step into 2026.
100% of your donation goes to where you designate — and every gift makes a lasting difference.
Orphan Rescue Operations
When you enable life-saving rescues and long-term care, we'll be able to celebrate Christmas with even more Kinship Kids next year.
Where Most Needed
A gift of any amount assures that emergency needs can always be met and unforeseen situations can always be resolved.
Food
Feed Kinship Kids, widows, refugees, and hungry families struggling to make ends meet within communities around our Kinship Projects.
Water
Help keep Kinship Kids and their communities safe from water-borne illnesses by providing clean water solutions, like wells and water filters.
Kinship Home Needs
Keep a Kinship Project safe and beautiful for the orphans who live there. Fix fences, repair toilets, replace mattresses, and more.
Shoes and Clothing
Clean clothes without rips and shoes without holes make an orphan beam with confidence. And we always need more because these kids grow fast!
Health and Hygiene
The most common illnesses and diseases for “the least of these” in poverty are treatable – and YOU can treat them!
Bibles and Worship
Kinship Kids are hungry for God’s word, and you can put a Bible or a musical instrument in the hands of each child who reaches out for one.
Education and Supplies
Many Kinship Kids never stepped foot in a classroom before being rescued. Will you fill their backpacks with the school supplies they need to succeed?
This Christmas, Rescue and Uplift an Orphan!
If you are reading this Wish List, you already know His word in James 1:27 –
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
The Christmas wish list of “the least of these” is simple. A meal to fill their bellies, clean water to drink and bathe in, a mosquito net for protection, their first ever dentist visit, a chance to go to school…
This wish list might not look the same as other children’s. But an orphaned Kinship Kid wants the same kind of Christmas you have: surrounded by loving family, celebrating Jesus’s birth, honoring the day with a feast or a present that brings a magical joy every child in the world deserves to feel.
To an orphan, these gifts are life-saving and life-changing. They make December 25th magical, and go far beyond that day, giving them a future when they once had none.
If you feel called to live out the Gospel, please make this Christmas extra special for an orphan who needs you.
100% of your gift goes directly where you designate, and each need is urgent, so your impact is guaranteed and immediate.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me... Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." -Matthew 25:35-36,40
