Orphanage Support Services Organization (OSSO) is a nonprofit charitable organization that provides volunteer and financial support to orphanages in Ecuador and more. We currently support eight orphanages in Ecuador year-round with volunteers and monetary donations. Historically, we've also supported orphanages in Thailand, China, Vietnam, Uganda, and more. Our volunteers provide one-on-one nurturing to disadvantaged children who might otherwise never realize their potential. We also help cover costs for medicine, nutrition, education, etc. The mission of OSSO is to do everything possible to help children living in orphanages and similar institutions to reach their full potential. Core Beliefs 1. Every child is a child of God and, as such, is just as important as any other person. 2. No institution can replace a loving family, although they sometimes must try. 3. Every child needs food, shelter, education and secure loving relationships. If a child's family or community cannot or will not provide for those needs, it becomes the responsibility of good people everywhere to try and provide them. 4. Every child deserves to receive and give love and must do so to develop normally. Ways to get involved: - Volunteer with us in Ecuador! - Donate money or needed supplies for the children. - Sponsor one of the orphanages OSSO works with.
