These projects focus primarily on those who are orphaned or otherwise
left homeless for any reason. As of 2007, your gifts have helped children in China, Colombia, Ethiopia, Guatemala,
India, Kazakhstan, Russia and Vietnam. We are committed to
helping you help children throughout our world.
Greatest Need: China
Only half of China’s estimated 600,000 orphans receive a basic government subsidy, and this aid is just a quarter of what a child needs to live. They struggle without adequate food, clothing and shelter, and have little or no access to specialized education, counseling, and other services that can give them a fighting chance for the future. You can help to fill these critical gaps in an orphaned child’s life. Your donation or monthly pledge will support projects that serve the most immediate needs of China’s orphans. Read more>>
Greatest Need: Colombia
Four decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and the drug-trafficking militias have resulted in a humanitarian crisis that constantly threatens the rights of Colombia’s women and children. As a result of this, approximately 3.5 million people are internally displaced, more than half of which are children. Read more>>
Greatest Need: India
With over one billion people (the world’s second highest population) India has some of the highest rates of poverty, malnourishment, unsafe drinking water, child labor, and mortality. Over 25,700,000 children are orphans and even more are street children. One child under the age of 5 dies every 3 seconds because they lack simple medications, adequate food, and clean water. Your support will give these children a chance at a better life. Read more>>
Greatest Need: Vietnam
Because of poverty, abandonment, death of parents, criminal activity, divorce, prostitution and childhood illnesses there are over 1,800,000 orphans in Vietnam right now. Most of these orphans have to fend for themselves, often working as street peddlers, beggars, prostitutes or criminals. Your gift can turn these children’s lives around by providing them with basic necessities such as food, shelter, education and much more.. Read more>>
Greatest Need: Guatemala
Guatemalan orphanages are home to an estimated 20,000 children, and at least 5,000 more live in the streets of Guatemala City. Thousands of young people, orphaned or separated from their families, sleep in abandoned buildings and public areas. About 2,450 youths work in brothels. Averaging in age from 10 – 12 years old, these children suffer lives of extreme violence that include torture, robbery, harassment, and even murder. Read more>>
