What is an Orfa?

An Orfa, also known as an Orphan Care Advocate, is a professional who works with orphaned and vulnerable children, helping to coordinate their care, advocate for their needs, and support their integration into families or communities. Orfa professionals may work in social services, non-profit organizations, or government agencies, focusing on the well-being and development of orphans. Their responsibilities can include case management, connecting children with resources, and supporting foster or adoptive families. The role is essential in ensuring that children without parental care receive the support and opportunities they need for a better future.
