Bed poverty is a topic not much discussed, yet it affects so many. With this video, we hope to shine a light on the situation to generate more support, so we can help even more children. A good night’s sleep can make a significant impact, even helping to transform lives.
Operation Orphan exists to keep orphans and vulnerable children around the world - safe, warm, healthy, and learning.
