Empowering Abandoned Children with Love, Commitment and Family
Mission & History
Our mission is to embody the message of Jesus, “You Are Not Alone,” for orphans and abandoned youth. We strive to become a reliable family for them in every possible way, so they can one day build healthy families of their own.
Since 2012, YANA Ministry has grown into a global community of more than 200 supporters, many based in the United States. To better serve these supporters, we officially registered as a U.S. charity that same year.
With your help, we believe it is possible to bring the hope of family to every child, empowering them to become confident, contributing members of society.
YANA’s Five Covenants
These five promises guide everything we do — how we serve, how we give, and how we walk with each child.
1
We are not their sponsors — we are their family.
2
We don’t expect immediate fruits.
3
We collaborate to make it better.
4
We remain open-handed.
5
We lead with irrational generosity.
