Castlemaine based charity Orphfund is delighted to announce it has a new name!
After 16 years, they will no longer be OrphFund, as of this very moment they are now known as ‘I am Someone’.
Orphfund founder Steve Argent said the change in name to ‘I am Someone’ marks a shift in focus to enabling an individual child’s dream to become a reality.
“In the beginning our goal was to save the world and help educate every child that needed help. That was always a huge task with 130 million orphans globally,” Argent said.
“We’ve come to realise that these are not one of millions of children who have no name, they are a child who has passions, dreams and goals and who can become anything, given the right support,” he said. See the Mail for the full story.
