Give To Orphans
Charity 1147787
Overview
Summary
Give To Orphans appears to be a long-term overseas support organisation rather than a narrowly defined orphanage charity. Its stated model combines individual sponsorship, organisational grants, facilities and direct services to sustain education and basic welfare in Bangladesh, Madagascar and Tanzania. The organisation’s remit is unusually broad: it begins with children affected by orphanhood or paternal loss, but its declared beneficiary groups and activities suggest a wider community-support role that may extend across generations and vulnerability types.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission's current record lists Birmingham City among the places where the charity operates, but does not identify any Birmingham service, project, delivery venue, beneficiary catchment or partner location at ward or recognised-place level.
- A 2023 trustees' annual report gave a principal address in Birmingham, but the current Charity Commission contact address is in Dudley. The Birmingham address may have been an administrative or correspondence address rather than a service site, and is not sufficient evidence of current operational delivery in Birmingham.
- Available evidence shows substantial overseas activity, including long-term support for people in Bangladesh, Madagascar and Tanzania, but does not explain the nature, scale or current location of activity reported in Birmingham City.
- No current official website, project pages, venue information or named delivery partners were available to establish whether Birmingham activity is neighbourhood-based, district-wide or citywide.
Additional evidence needed
- The latest trustees' annual report or annual return identifying how Birmingham City is included in the charity's current operations.
- Official confirmation of any current Birmingham office, service venue, fundraising base or administrative site, including whether it is open to beneficiaries or used only for correspondence.
- Details of current Birmingham-based projects, grants, delivery partners or events, with locations or beneficiary catchments where disclosure is appropriate.

Observations
Long-term support is central to its model
The organisation appears to prioritise continuity of care, using sustained support to keep vulnerable people in education while meeting essential daily needs.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the charity from short-term relief providers and suggests that education is treated as inseparable from food, shelter, clothing and healthcare.
Show evidence
“The charity provides long term support and sponsorship to enable children to continue in education.”
Source:Charity Commission“Its support includes sustenance, shelter, clothing, food and medical care.”
Source:Charity Commission
Its delivery model is deliberately mixed
Give To Orphans may operate through several channels rather than relying only on direct sponsorship: grants to people and organisations sit alongside facilities and services.
Why it matters
This suggests potential relationships with local intermediary organisations and a capacity to respond differently across places or types of need.
Show evidence
“The charity makes grants to individuals and organisations.”
Source:Charity Commission“The charity provides buildings, facilities, open space and services.”

The stated mission is broader than its name suggests
Although orphanhood is the organising concern, the organisation may have evolved into a wider poverty-relief and community-support charity serving people beyond orphaned children.
Why it matters
This broadening may create opportunities for collaboration with health, disability, elder support and local development organisations, while also raising questions about how resources are prioritised.
Show evidence
“The charity helps children and young people, elderly people, people with disabilities and the general public.”
Source:Charity Commission“Its purposes include health, disability, poverty relief, overseas aid, religious activities and economic or community development.”

Remaining uncertainties

- Information on local partners, facilities, sponsorship arrangements and beneficiary outcomes.
