Orphan Outreach Mission Backpack

Backpacks make a
difference in Haiti

Mission Backpack collections provided more than 7,000 backpacks filled with hygiene kits, new bibles and stuffed bears to hurting children in Haiti and Florida. In Florida, Mission Backpack has partnered with Florida Baptist Children’s Homes, Moody Radio Florida, Moody Radio South Florida and WAY radio to collect backpacks and school supplies. We are excited the share these photos of the backpacks being delivered in Haiti!

We Need Your Help!

Mission Backpack collections across the US have provided the hope of education to children around the world. You can host a Mission Backpack collection at your church, school or other business. Thousands of orphan and vulnerable children around the world do not go to school because they cannot afford basic school supplies.

School Supplies Change the Lives and Futures of Children in Guatemala

The little girl's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands with excitement when she saw what the woman brought into the classroom. She could hardly stay in her seat as she waited for the announcement to be made.

That gift had come from hundreds of people in the United States who wanted them to each have their own school supplies.

"For most of these children, it is the first and only school supplies they have ever owned," says Amy Nortorn, director of programs for Orphan Outreach.
