Families are special.  We’re sure it won’t take long for your family to remember those special moments that make family…well…family. Forgotten Voices International, as our name indicates, is about looking after voices that are lost in the shuffle of life and might not have a mom, a dad, or a sibling to play with after school.

Whether you are an orphan in a developing country or an American family looking for a way to get engaged with an exciting initiative to empower local people in the developing world, we care about your voice.

We want your family to find its voice and engage with us in painting a more promising picture for kids that may not have a family. Whether you have kids, teenagers, or young adults soaring on their own… your family can help us empower orphans in southern Africa.
