Thank you for the support that you have given to the foundation supporting our work in Africa over the years. If you haven’t noticed, things look a bit different at the foundation these days, including the ministries that we have and how we run those ministries. Our leadership has taken the time to take a deeper look into what we do, the impact that we are able to make and have done the work to re-imagine what is possible. It has been an exciting time and in re-imagining the possibilities, our hearts have been re-ignited for the work that we’ve been entrusted with.

One of the key ministries that has been re-imagined are the orphanages in Africa. On a recent trip to visit the countries that we have homes in, we developed a deeper understanding of who the children in our care are, what their story is, and how they came to be a part of our home. We quickly realized that we had a lot to learn about African culture and how families are run, and that many children in Africa don't have parents not because their parents do not exist. Rather, it is common in African culture to be abandoned or thrown out by parents who do not feel that they have the means to take care of their children, given their economic circumstances. For this reason, one major change that we have made is to re-brand our program to the Children’s Homes of Africa.

Within our new program, we have made changes that we believe are unparalleled to other organizations in this area:

1. Our approach is one that is holistic, taking care of every aspect of the child’s well-being (food, a real home, shelter, education, home parents and clothing).
2. Sustainability and continued growth after graduating from our homes (at the age of 18) is important to us. We have implemented vocational training in every one of our homes to prepare the children to have a viable future.
3. We encourage relationship between the children and their sponsors, coordinating opportunities for communication twice a year.

We invite you to continue your partnership with us in making a difference in a child’s life and being the difference that Africa needs.

For the first time, you are able to choose the child you would like to sponsor by viewing their profiles, you can also have the foundation choose a child for you if the decision is too hard to make! We will then send you an official sponsor card/photo of the child you choose and connect with you on how you can communicate with this child.

We encourage you to re-engage with us in our new program by enrolling to be the difference within our new site. Thank you for your continued partnership with us, we know that the work we do is only made stronger because of you. Together, let’s re-imagine the impact that we can make in a child’s life and for the nation of Africa.

Join us in being the Difference!
