Commodities

Because of the contacts we have formed with this international project, we at Our Family Orphan Communities are able to arrange/facilitate  transactions for buying and selling various commodities.

100% of any profit or commissions from a transaction is used for the Orphan Communities project.

If you are aware of any potential transactions, please let us know.

·   rice

·   wheat

·   coffee

·   barley

·   corn

·   potatoes

·   unmodified potato starch

·   sugar

·   purified water

·   bamboo

·   and other commodities

By doing this, we are not only facilitating the feeding of those in need, but also any earnings for Our Family Orphan Communities will go to facilitating the implementation of the Orphan Communities in developing countries.

We are asking anyone who knows of potential transactions for any commodities to contact us immediately at:

commodities(at)orphancommunities.org

and provide the details of what is needed or what is available.

Please forward this information to anyone

who can help us with this activity.

Volunteering

Imagine a world where the power and profit of private business enterprise is used to support humanitarian projects.  Like providing homes and families to orphans.

Where Social Businesses are formed that use the latest knowledge in renewable resource, sustainable development and high-technology to fund building homes where orphans will live in families with surrogate parents who give them healthcare, education, skills training and jobs to prepare them for their and their country’s future.

Look inside to see our mission and projects to see how we are doing just this.  And how, with your help, we will do more of it for more children in more countries.

Vision and Mission

The global vision of O.F.O.C. is to improve the life and environment of orphans of any race, religion or gender throughout the world. This is done with an organization that establishes, in developing countries, economically self-sustaining Orphan Communities that purposefully integrate profit making businesses with family style childcare for orphans.

O.F.O.C. Mission Statement:

To create

- economically self-sufficient,

- environmentally green,

- high-technology based Communities in which street orphans live in a family,

- have surrogate parents and grandparents,

- receive healthcare,

- continue their education,

- learn computer skills,

- participate in social & recreational activities,

- receive job skills training and

- have an opportunity to attend college so they are better prepared for their and their country’s future.

Social Business Investment

For those of you who have not heard of “Social Business” it comes to us from The Banker To The Poor – Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Muhammad Yunus. He extablished the first experiments with micro-credit which evolved into Grameen Bank.

His latest book is: Creating a world without poverty – How Social Business can transform our lives.

The Social Businesses described are like traditional for-profit businesses except that instead of all of the profits going into the pockets of the investors, the profits help the humanitarian cause for which the business was established. Depending on the agreement with the investors, they may continue ownership of the enterprise or they may be repaid thier investment with appropriate interest. Some investors will, for the sake of the humanitarian cause agree to taking no profit, others may still need one or two percent to meet the needs of their board of directors or shareholders.

The businesses in the Orphan Communities are being established as Social Businesses. You can see the various businesses that make up the Funding Activities that in turn pay for the Childcare Activities of the community at: www.orphancommunities.org.

You can contact the organization to discuss your interest in investing…
