Vegetarian Orphanages

Several orphanages around the world, often in the poorest countries, remain vegetarian for cultural, religious or other reasons. Here are two that would benefit immensely from your donations:

1. Lotus Children's Centre

   Based in Ulan Battar, Mongolia, the Lotus Children's Centre is so much more than "just" an orphanage. Rather than just providing needy children with a home, Lotus Children's Centre seeks to break the cycle of poverty by initiating income-generating projects for families who otherwise would be unable to care for their children. The nearly 150 children who call Lotus Children's Centre "home" receive health care, education, career and life skills development, and, most importantly, a brighter future.

2. East African Mission Orphanage

   This orphanage in poverty-stricken Kenya is home to over 100 children, many of whom have lost a parent to AIDS. A vegetable garden provides children with nutritious meals, and increased funding will allow the agency to take in more children. Click here to donate to the East African Mission Orphanage
