Sierra Leone

Right now, thousands of orphaned and destitute children in the countries we serve have no access to basic care. Your gift allows our in-country staff to meet these unique needs, providing things like mosquito nets, regular health checkups, counseling, and treatment through our malnourishment clinic.

In Africa and the Caribbean, shoes and flip-flops are essential items that lead to better health.

Without footwear, children are exposed to dangerous parasites and sharp objects that can cause serious wounds and infections.

Shoes are also often required for children to attend school, and those who cannot afford shoes will often be turned away from class in shame.

Your gift will provide not only better health, but dignity as well.

Please give a child a pair of shoes today.

For many parents trying to provide their children with basic necessities like food and shelter, clothing is a low priority. Nonessential clothes, such as socks and underwear, are luxuries unavailable to many children. Your gift will contribute to the hygiene and comfort of a child in need by providing a package of socks and a package of underwear.

Wrap a needy child in the comfort of a warm blanket! Yes, it actually gets cold and rainy in Africa and the Caribbean, and children without family to care for them are the most vulnerable to exposure to the elements. Your gift will provide a child in need with a blanket to guard them against the cold and cover them at night while they sleep.

Many children we serve don’t have electricity (or their access to electricity is inconsistent). This makes it difficult to study, work, or move safely in the evening and early morning. Candles and kerosene lamps can be costly and increase the risk of fire damage. Your gift of a solar-powered flashlight will light up a child’s world.

Through your support, our agricultural projects not only produce much-needed food for the children, they also provide opportunities to train children with the skills they will need to tend their own farms for their families and their futures. Your gift will help to outfit a farm with tractors, hoes, shovels, and irrigation equipment.

It is our desire to produce enough crops to completely feed all of our children and staff. We are now cultivating hundreds of acres of crops annually. Your gifts will ensure these acres produce full harvests with a variety of crops that will be used in our programs, directly impacting our children ??s lives.

Give a Bible--its a lifesaving gift AND is the best-selling book in human history!

A Bible of one’s own is a precious possession. Your gift of $10 will provide a Bible for a child, giving her the Word of God at her fingertips.

This is an especially treasured gift for children living in poverty, who don’t have many books of their own, and who long to know that they have a Creator who loves them.

This could be the most meaningful gift you give this Christmas. How many Bibles can you give today?

Education can break the cycle of poverty and allow a child to become the leader he or she needs to be to transform a nation. Your gift provides for a year of schooling for a child, encouraging that child to succeed and gain the skills necessary to create a better life.
