Global Orphan Care Foundation (Almitas Foundation)

Almitas is a volunteer association working in partnership with Cherokee Gives Back, the charitable outreach effort of Cherokee.

Initially known as Global Orphan Care, Almitas began with a group of concerned businessmen who had adopted children internationally and were struck by the magnitude of the problems facing the children they had to leave behind. Realizing they cannot adopt them all, these individuals now strive to do everything they can to bring attention and assistance to the growing crisis of orphans and vulnerable children in the world. Almitas has extended to include a wide network of child welfare experts, orphan care practitioners, and passionate advocates for children’s rights.
