Our Story

Education for Orphans began with a simple encounter and a profound need. When Randy visited the New Life Orphanage in Haiti, he met a student whose dream of attending university seemed impossible due to lack of funding. This moment sparked a vision: what if we could create a direct pathway for caring individuals to sponsor the education of orphans?

Since our founding, we've remained committed to this simple yet powerful idea. By partnering with orphanages and identifying students who demonstrate both academic potential and commitment to Jesus Christ, we create opportunities that transform lives and communities.

Today, EFO serves students in Haiti, Nepal, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic, with plans to expand our reach as God opens doors.
