Open Arms Home for Children is a non-profit residential home in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, providing a home, security, education and spiritual and emotional care to orphaned, abandoned and abused children.

The organisation was founded in the United States by Bob and Sallie Solis, who began the home after a 2004 mission trip to South Africa, and it is funded largely by individual donors, including monthly child sponsors, and volunteers. It is an established non-profit in both South Africa and the USA, and is located about 75 km northeast of East London on a hilltop property.
