We believe in investing sufficiently to change a system (conditions), not merely to treat an individual problem. We realize the first step may be to recognize and address the immediate need. Ultimately, our goal is to give to help improve the conditions for people versus simply giving to help people.
Our targeted community-based model provides:
Opportunities to be cared for and protected
· Orphanage and care center support
· Aid for vulnerable families
Opportunities to be healthy
· Preventative and emergency medical care
· Nutritious food
· Clean water
Opportunities to be educated
· Schools/special classes
· Books and supplies
· Teachers/training
We focus the effort and dollars for maximum impact by limiting the number of projects at a given time in each country. That way we can more effectively measure results and monitor outcomes to ensure the support is making a difference.
We are committed to minimize administration time and expense.
The funding for our International Child Welfare projects comes from individuals, corporations, foundations, events and public and private grants.
