There are over 153 million orphaned children today.
You can help end the global orphan crisis.

In both Uganda and Ethiopia, many families are eating only once a day and the meals lack nutrition. Because of droughts in both countries, malnutrition cases are steadily increasing. Mothers, especially, are likely to suffer as they often go without eating in order to feed their children. Likewise, hunger directly affects school attendance and dropout rates. Students deprived of food often faint at school. Since many families cannot afford medical expenses or food, they neglect to send their children in the first place and children work in gardens or on the streets selling things.

Perhaps one of the greatest underlying causes to these problems and poverty-related needs is the breakdown of the family structure. Many children are cared for by widowed mothers, extended family, and in other cases, the children have been abandoned.

Our work takes the whole child, and their individual situation, into account. We begin by addressing immediate, physical needs. Then we provide structure and stability through education and community support. Our goal is to journey with children and help them become healthy, self-sufficient, purpose-driven adults who will be part of the solution to the problems their nations face.
