You Can Help Provide Shelter and Care For Just One!
There are many worthy organizations serving the needs of the orphans around the world. They are our hands and hearts touching the lives of the children day to day.
Our mission is to help our partner organizations raise funds for building projects to better serve orphans in their care. The task of funding a building project to better provide for the orphans seems daunting at times. There are so many needs, and the cost is so great it is overwhelming.
A wise man once asked, How do you eat an Elephant? The answer? " One bite at a time."
So, with your help, we can fund one project at a time. It costs about $1,000 to provide Shelter
and Care for
one orphan on an ongoing basis.

Description Of Need: We work with both orphans and street children from a variety of backgrounds. Many of our children have lost both parents due to HIV/AIDS and many of these children are pulled out/run away from very abusive home situations. Furthermore, many of our girls, even ones as young as 6-8years old have been forced into child prostitution rings before. The center is located on the southern shore of Lake Victoria, in a small village called Kitongo. It is approximately 30 miles East of Mwanza, Tanzania. There are approximately 40 acres of land at the moment. The center has planted lots of farmland and hopes to be self-sustainable for food and salaries one day. Currently, the center has 3 houses for staff and guests, a dining hall and one apartment-style dormitory for the children. There is also lots of farmland and a large livestock area. It is hard to provide a \"typical\" story, as they vary greatly, but many of our children have suffered the loss of one or both parents due to HIV/AIDS, Malaria, or other diseases. Others are removed from their homes because of being in a dangerous situation.

Description Of Need: George Foundation is dedicated to the rehabilitation of disadvantaged children who have been dehumanized while living their lives as orphans and street children especially girls, and preparing them for a better future. We envision a Sierra Leone where children enjoy their basic rights and grow up becoming self reliant, responsible and patriotic citizens. We desire a multipurpose building that will provide space for the orphanage ,medical examination centre and stores section (clinic)that will also serve the community. Office space for the orphanage, supervisors and counselors, social workers. The building will be 2250 by 1500 feet on 3 Acres land. The organisation serves orpans whose fathers and mothers were killed in the past rebel war and cannot trace their immediate relatives, neither their communities. These victims therefore reside in the street corners and unfinished buildings. Most of them are sick and open to negative behavioral options which are available in the street and other places lack the options of living a decent life. Majority of the children access little or no basic education, no good food to eat and no good clothing to wear. New generations are now born in the street to street child parents. Some did not even know when their birth day is. These children need love, care,and protection to help them secure a better futre. There is an orphan who is getting support from our organisation .He took the street to fend for himself because no support from the extended family. Whilst on the street he developed rashes and scabies. He was exposed to criminal activities and bad friends as he explained to our social workers. When our social workers were out on the field ,this boy was caught up, interviewed and encouraged to come to our intrim care centre. The boy having had encouragement from our workers decided to come with them to the centre. Since then we provided him with social, educational and medical support and he is now a happy child with the services we provide for him.

Description Of Need: Dr. Adili Seushi from Tanzania has a vision to provide medical services for the poor and orphaned especially in Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam. Diagnostic equipment has been donated and the next step will be to provide a building to provide the services so they become self sustaining. Land has also been purchased for the hospital that will serve those left orphaned and those living with AIDS/HIV. Approximately 95 percent of all AIDS orphans in the world live in sub-Saharan Africa, which is the region of the world that is most affected by HIV and AIDS. Of those orphans, 980,000 live in Tanzania, which is the third largest country of sub-Saharan Africa with orphaned children due to AIDS. It is expected that the number of orphans in sub-Saharan Africa will rise from 12 million to 18 million by the 2010. Around 2 million children under the age of 15 are living with HIV, and more than twelve million children have been orphaned by AIDS. The hospital will serve orphans in the region. Dr. Seushi's vision includes visits to Orphanage homes or villages with a medical team his hospital will train. In fact, one of the physicians who will be joining him in the new hospital has already initiated such outreach in the greater Dar es Salaam area.

Description Of Need: New Hope Children's Home is a non-profit Christian Children's Home rescues and cares for the orphans, abandoned and destitute children of Cambodia. Our staff of 7 desires a building of our own. The home we are currently in is a rental home for temporary shelter. A two floor building with sufficient bedrooms for the children, staff and some volunteers -one side separated for the girls and the other one for the boys. The building will be 9 m( width) 23m ( length) and the kitchen 5 m (width) 12 m (length. The need is great. In 2001, child trafficking was rampant. People were making business out of children, buying and selling them. One orphan named Srey Mom aged one year and two months was with a certain man who happened to be the 6th buyer of this poor child. The man was desperate and broke. He found shelter in a Buddhist temple so he and this child lived there for three days. He planned to sell her again to a person who manages hookers. He was considering it but was reprimanded by a person working in that temple. This concerned man approached Pastor Rostitus, the Director of New Hope Children's Home and told him about the child. Immediately, he went to talk with the man and see the child. The girl was very undernourished and pale. Her skin was full of mosquito bites. Pastor Rostitus asked the man and showed him how he could take good care of this child. He refused the first time but then through God's help, he agreed after three days. The Home happily received the girl and gave her a new name in view of the fact that Pastor didn't know what was her real name was or where she was from. She was given good food, real care and love since that time on. The staff and the older children made her feel at home. Now, she is 7 years old and is presently studying in a nearby public school. She is in the second grade. Adults and young people alike are business oriented. Children tend to stop their studies to start earning and help the family. Casinos along the border show a big contrast to the poverty shown by nearby slum areas. Most of the residents are poor. Street children are begging everywhere around the casino areas. There's a big influence of Thai culture given that it is a border area and 80% of the gamblers in the casinos are Thai nationals. The Home is currently located in a village in Poi Pet. It is near a wet market which locals commonly call Psa Try which means fish market. The street where the home is located is not paved and most parts of it are usually flooded during the rainy season and dusty in the hot season.

Description Of Need: The mission of Child Survival Aid Ghana (CSAG) is to provide education and vocational training for orphaned and disadvantaged children in the community. Last year, our group started a nursery and kindergarten classes for over 100 children in the community under trees. These children are mainly orphans from in the community who have no parents to take care of them. We seek financial assistance to build the school in our community. When the school is completed, it will provide education to over 500 destitute children within the community. Our goal is to free the children from shackles of extreme poverty. The community is poor, but we have raised $5,000 toward our goal of building a school. The community is agriculture based with mostly grassland and a population of about 3,000. It is one of the most deprived communities in the District with low level of education. It has no portable drinking water, electricity, health facility, library and other social amenities, which forced many youth to leave the village to go find work in cities and towns. Those that stay raise crops and animals.Unfortunately, there is only one earth dam in the community, which serves both the people and animals as a source of drinking water,causing unsanitary conditions. CSAG has registered with the Registrar General Department with Registration No.G.6295 and Department of Social Welfare with Registration No. D.S.W.1927.

Description Of Need: St. Kizito Orphanage Centre was established in the year 2004 as a non-profit community based charitable organization in Kenya. The organization seeks to curb the spread of poverty, illiteracy, disease and create a lasting and positive solution for children in need. Most of the orphans are from the surrounding slums, whose parents have either died of HIV / AIDS pandemic or were victims of land clashes or post election violence that rocked our country in the recent past. Some are so hopeless that they move around begging for food and cash as away to help themselves. In addition some engage in child labour, prostitution and beer drinking in the surrounding neighborhoods. The orphanage is based at a poor slum of Kitale town in Umoja Village Namanjalala sub-location, Kwanza division, Trans-Nzoia East District, Rift Valley Province of Kenya on a one acre plot. The place and community is characterized by very many social and environmental problems e.g. high rate of HIV /AIDS, poverty, Illiteracy, victims of land clashes, post election violence, squatter landless groups to whom St. Kizito works directly to curb poverty, illiteracy and reach out to the needy children. We desire to build a four story building that would consist of housing, offices, classrooms, library and counseling office and dinning. The project is still in the planning stages and has not yet started, due to financial constraints. The community and churches are supporting the work's operating needs.

Description Of Need: Mercy Homes are not an orphanage per se. They are instead separate Orphan Homes where kids grow in the personal attention of committed house parents. There are ideally ten children in every home. Currently there are 60 Mercy Homes in India, Mexico and Peru. Mercy Homes are places where the children are offered proper care, good food, education, shelter and spiritual upbringing with Christian character. This is not at all an orphanage but a home concept where children grow in love, peace and responsibility. Ten children are brought up in a home under the committed spiritual family (parents). The house parents will take care of every matter. The house parents will be supported with enough money to raise the kids.

Description Of Need: Our goal is to start building this winter and to raise $150,000 of the $2.5 million in the Phase that will be completed in 2009 for the first 30 children. We have been fund raising and have a solid start to accomplish our goal. Phase one Includes: Site work & Utilities, Water Storage, Guard House, Guest House, Mechanical/Carpentry Building, 3 Children’s Homes, Soccer Field, Basketball Court. The Rwandan government has donated 23 acres to help build Nibakure Children's Village. In 1994, the children in Rwanda became living victims of genocide. There were more than 1 million children orphaned at this time. Many children in Rwanda were left parentless, leaving siblings to care for each other. The targeted age group is 8-18, as many of these orphans have been left to themselves. The goal is to keep siblings together, provide a loving environment where basic food, shelter and clothing and medical needs are met. The project is broken into phases, initially adequate infrastructure, then permanent facilities including the children's home, playground, school, clinic and chapel.
