WWO
Worldwide Orphans (WWO) brings trauma informed programs to children and families living in fragile communities. Over the past 26 years, WWO has impacted nearly 200,000 beneficiaries located in nineteen countries. Today, the organization has teams based in Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Haiti, The Bronx, Ukraine and Vietnam. Our programs ensure children are introduced to safe and structured learning through play methodology that builds their social and executive function skills. When children have access to quality early learning activities and feel safe and connected, these activities have the power to mitigate the negative effects of war, poverty, toxic stress, and trauma on their early childhood development. • Element of Play® Our signature prescriptive play program helps children reach their developmental milestones in the area of communication, social-emotional, fine and gross motor skills, and cognition, while strengthening the bond with their caregivers. • Camps for Children Living with Serious Illness In partnership with SeriousFun Children’s Network, our camps increase confidence, self-esteem and sense of belonging in seriously ill children. They also have the lifesaving benefit of getting HIV positive children to take their antiretroviral (ARV) medication consistently and independently. • Skills Development Our skills development program provides out-of-school youth and adults with the skills and opportunity to lead structured play programs. Our innovative programming breaks down stigma and builds critical life skills for marginalized children to thrive. When children learn to overcome challenges, they make tremendous progress in becoming strong, successful adults.
