The Problem with Orphanages The Solution
People donate thousands of dollars every day hoping to help these
children. Sadly, many of these well meaning donors are simply funding
con artists and corrupt agencies. Neglected and abused children starve
in ramshackle shelters while scam artists collect the money that was
sent to help them.
Dion Quinn founded God's Kids in 2002 in response to the needs of
orphans worldwide. Dion's desire to help children was partly a result
from his own childhood experience. God has given Dion a heart for
children surviving in difficult circumstances. His deep compassion for
children who have been abandoned or suffer the pain of homelessness
spurred him to action.
After years of donating much of his income to orphanages around the
world, Dion set out to witness the lives of these children firsthand.
He traveled to third-world countries in Africa and Southeast Asia and
was disappointed to discover how his donations were being used.
In many cases, his donations were not being used for their intended
purpose. And when they were, inefficiency and ineffectiveness plagued
these ill-equipped organizations. Dion found that no one was holding
these orphanages accountable for the level of care provided to children.
God's Kids was created to help orphanages meet the spiritual, emotional
and physical needs of orphans around the world through the God's Kids
Network.
