World Orphans Day is observed worldwide, with two separate dates established to honor orphans: April 20 and the second Monday of November. The April 20 observance was founded by the Worldwide Organization for Charity (WOC) to support orphans, underprivileged children, and widows, aiming to make them self-reliant through various support schemes. The November observance, launched in 2006 by the Stars Foundation, seeks to raise funds for orphans, children in foster care, and street children. Both days emphasize the plight of orphans, with efforts to encourage donations, volunteering at orphanages, and organizing community awareness events. Notably, every 19 seconds, a child is orphaned globally, with a significant number of orphans living without proper care, making these observances crucial for highlighting their needs.
