Our Mission
We build safe Church Homes for orphans and engage the whole village as their Kinship family.
In the Field
It all starts with the church. Indigenous pastor-led churches are the foundation of each Kinship Project. These native leaders understand the troubles and needs of their communities better than anyone.
A New Family
Kinship Projects include home environments for orphans and widows to live. Widows act as caregivers for the children in a loving, family setting.
Long-Term Impact
100% of your donation enables Kinship Projects to offer long-term care and serve the community as relief centers, water sources, feeding programs, schools, medical clinics, and more.
The Essentials
Our Founders
Our founders are a tight knit group of individuals who have worked together for years. They have an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges and qualities of each of the Kinship Project communities.
Through Skype calls, Q&A sessions, mission trips in country, etc. you can get to know this incredible team. These men are on the front lines, and have firsthand stories about the kids in our Kinship Projects to share. Through them, you can get a portrait of what it's really like to be a part of a Kinship Project.
Kinship is all about connection, and we want you to be as close as you can to the change you make possible.

Our Culture
Kinship United (a division of Warm Blankets Children's Foundation) was founded in 2000 and has enjoyed being identified as an orphan rescue operation for years.
At the heart of Kinship United is the desire to establish faith-based centers where undocumented children can become part of a "Kinship Family." We have shown the world that giving orphans and lost children a place to belong restores their childhoods in Christ. We feel privileged to unite hurting people with their local church, and we wouldn't be able to do it without our incredible supporters or our dedicated partners in outpost locations around the world.
Mother Teresa once said, "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."
Kinship in its simplest form is a way to give people who may feel lost and alone a place to belong.
But how? By bringing disparate people into the most important community: the church. Kinship brings orphans, widows, and refugees into local churches and rescue centers, and gives everyone the opportunity to thrive.
Belonging is at the core of Kinship. Will you give orphans, widows, and refugees a place to belong and the chance to thrive?
