Organization Description:

Mission To provide responsible care to orphaned and destitute children by the equipping of nationals, giving children every possible advantage available to grow in a stable, Christ-centered environment, empowering them to be the leaders of tomorrow. Vision To see all children equipped and able to live balanced and disciplined lives. Strategy To mobilize resources from churches, agencies, clubs, organizations, governments, and individuals, making possible the mission. Philosophy Movement vs. Organization: COTN sees itself as a movement of people gathered by God to provide quality care to children under His guidance. He has created a worldwide body of people with a common passion who deny themselves to care for children. COTN is not a missionary sending agency but utilizes individuals from around the globe, tapping into their talents in a professional manner, which strategically assists the overall mission in accomplishing its goals.
