Since our founding in 2016, Delano King Foundation has taken a stand for orphaned children. There are approximately 8 million children living in orphanages around the world. That is unacceptable! The biggest dream of any child is to be part of a loving family— it’s where they thrive.

When violence occurs, we respond by ensuring children and families receive the physical and spiritual support they need to recover. We do this by:

• Strengthening families, children, and caregivers with God’s love;
• Providing nutritional meal, health care, educational support, and psychosocial support to children and families.
• Working with communities and families to help keep children in family-based care to reduce separation
• Providing spiritual, physical, and psychosocial support services to children and families who have experienced various forms of violence or exploitation.

The life changing work of the Delano King Foundation is best seen in our stories of aid to the children, men, and women of Liberia.

• On Christmas Day of 2018, DKF volunteers served dinner to over 1,000 orphans, people with disabilities, and families living in poverty in the area of Logan Town, Liberia.

• The first DKF Africa Orphans Initiative Scholarship recipient is Tetee Williams, who received a scholarship to a private Christian School in 72nd Liberia in the 2018-2019 school year. Tetee’s scholarship covered tuition, uniform, fees, supplies, and a stipend to help with food and transportation.  Our partners in Liberia are interviewing the next scholarship recipient for 2019-2020.

• In November 2017, DKF shipped boxes of food, clothing, footwear, bibles, school stationary supplies, and toiletries to over 300 orphans and poor children in the 72nd Paynesville District of Liberia.
