About our Caregivers
Oak Life Caregivers are a dedicated group of orphanage workers. They go where the need is greatest, and faithfully follow the Lord's calling on their lives. They are the front-line team in a child's story, and are prepared to help children in alternative care overcome their histories.
Each Caregiver has earned their Orphan Care Certificate with Oak Life, and are a part of our family. They are in agreement with our statement of faith, and stay connected with our support team.
We believe this group of incredible people is going to change the world of orphan care for the better.
