About Us

Our Family in Africa seeks to give hope and opportunity to vulnerable children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We are a non-profit organization based in Camas, Washington (USA). We are minimally staffed and owe a great deal to our steadfast volunteers throughout the United States and Canada, many of whom have adopted Congolese children.

As of 2018, the staff and Board of Directors of OFA have chosen to wind down operations and allow partner organizations to help develop our programs for future success.

We have a new partner, The Forgotten International (TFI)! 

The Forgotten International’s mission is to develop programs that alleviate poverty and the suffering often associated with poverty – in particular, that which is experienced by women and children – both in the United States and worldwide.

TFI will be distributing all funds to Kaziba Orphanage on behalf of OFA.

Who We Serve

Our Family in Africa worked to alleviate the suffering of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There are approximately 5,000,000 orphans there and massive need throughout the country. In a nation with a history of post-colonial civil war and lack of potential for young people, there is opportunity to help raise strong and educated children who will transform the DRC for the better.
