Together, we can end the orphan crisis

Our Mission: Making waves of hope until every orphaned child has a home

Since One Less, Inc was founded in 2022, weā€™ve been chasing one ambitious goal: ending the global orphan crisis. The orphan crisis is huge, but weā€™re optimistic. We know how to solve the problem, and we make progress every day thanks to the help of local partners and generous supporters.

100% MODEL

One Less, Inc makes a bold promise: 100% of public donations go directly to our programs fighting for every orphaned child to have a home. Private donors cover our operating costs so 100% of your money can go to our mission.

HOW WE WORK

We want you to know exactly how and where your donation is being used. Here are our promises to you.

OUR FOUNDER

Erica Schaefer

Hello! Iā€™m Erica, wife to Zach, an adoptive mother of two beautiful girls named Hebsi and Shravani. I am a Counselor and passionate dreamer. One Less is a dream born from my own adoption journey, passion to see adoption normalized and walking the streets of India, seeing the countless street children and realizing together we can make a difference. Through supporting adoption, foster care and building homes for abandoned children we can make waves of hope until every orphan has a home.
