Worldwide Orphans (WWO) is grateful for the support of Anderson Cooper and is honored to be featured on CNN's "Champions for Change" series.

WWO believes that play holds a transformative power for both children and adults. In the United States and overseas, we give children and adults an opportunity to learn, develop and become homegrown heroes in their own communities. Our trauma-informed, play-based model empowers communities to become actively invested in the growth and development of every child so both can reach their full potential.

In 2017, WWO served more than 8,000 children and families through Element of Play and our 43 Toy libraries in Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Haiti, Serbia, the United States, and Vietnam. Our cross-cultural programs are designed to help every child thrive, including children: without parental care, living in poverty, with disabilities, living with HIV, living on the streets, in crisis, and migrant and refugee children and the adults in their lives.

Your donation will allow us to continue to provide vital programs to children and adults in all the countries we serve. All donations matter and every donation makes a difference.
