Children easily relate to other children.  By getting kids involved in Empower Orphans, they learn a valuable life-lesson: that there is a world beyond school, sports and homework; that there are other children who are needy and who deserve attention and help; that even small steps can make a big difference.

• Earn money for chores that can be donated to Empower Orphans.
• Put away a portion of your allowance money and donate it to Empower Orphans.
• Create crafts (hand made cards and gifts) for the holidays – great for fundraising among neighbors and school friends.
• Bake Sales
• Yard Sales - raise money by selling gently used toys and books (things owned by children so they feel involved).
• Host talent nights (dance, music, plays, magic tricks) within small circles of friends – everyone loves to see children performing. Raise money through ticket collections.
