2026 WWO Community Gatherings

Global Connections, Local Action

Friday, 17 July 2026

“Global Connections, Local Action” is a unique opportunity for leaders in Europe, Africa, MENA and Asia to connect online with the global WWO community while gathering in person locally with friends, colleagues, and partners who share a heart for children and families. Invite others to join you and grow your local network with a vision for vulnerable children.

This year’s hybrid gathering will allow you to:

  • Connect with the worldwide WWO community
  • Gather locally with partners in your area
  • Learn from inspiring stories of impact across nations
  • Reflect and identify practical next steps for your local context

Calling All Local and National Leaders

Are you passionate about working together to:

  • Strengthen families to prevent orphanhood and child vulnerability?
  • Provide families for orphaned children through reunification, foster care, or adoption?
  • Build partnerships to help children and families thrive?
  • Promote self-care and spiritual renewal for those serving?

Local Gatherings – A Hybrid Approach

World Without Orphans Community Gathering is big because we’re inviting the whole world, but it’s small because we’re inviting every participant to gather right where they are in their homes, churches, cities, or even as national teams!

Why meet in-person?

Participating in a hybrid group allows you not just to engage on your own, but to learn, pray, and talk with people who can encourage you on this journey. Technology can help connect us with people all over the world, but there’s no replacement for personal relationships. If we’re going to see your nation without orphans, we’re going to do it together!

Local Gatherings Belong Everywhere

We encourage participants to gather locally, where they follow the forum via Zoom and discuss its application locally as a team.  Groups will meet wherever works best for the size of the group, from churches to coffee shops and living rooms to conference halls. No matter how you gather, we have resources to help you every step of the way.
