Welcome to Forgotten Children Worldwide

Forgotten Children Worldwide (formerly Forgotten Children International) began in 1999. The co-founders, Matt & Barb Hartsell, were in Russia adopting their second child internationally when they observed the appalling plight of orphans.

Like so many who have adopted or who have traveled internationally, they were moved by the cruel and harsh reality of the lack of essentials that so many of us take for granted on a daily basis. A middle-of-the-night prompting by the Holy Spirit, while in Moscow, Russia, began the journey of assisting orphans.

For less than $1 per day, you can provide an education, school supplies and uniforms, food, medical supplies and spiritual encouragement and mentorship for orphans and vulnerable children in need around the world. 100% of your donation of $25 a month goes to benefit your child(ren).
