“Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names.They’re easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms, but once you do everything changes. “

Right: Max, Owner of Global Orphanage. Left: Mother of Max, caretaker and cook for the children.
Max’s father ( Eliphace ) unfortunately died in April 2016 from Diabetes. Max, then aged 21, stopped his studies to take over the orphanage. Currently at the age of 23 Max has taken over Global Orphanage and caring for these children.
MIDDLE: Joyce with her 2 children Samule & Syliva.
Joyce who cares for the children by helping to cook and doing laundry every day. She is unpaid as Global Orphanage has no constant income and she walks 45 minutes to care for the children, creating a very happy safe home for them. Starting in 2017 Erin Rae / Photography will be providing Joyce an income through donations.
