Preserving Families. Creating Opportunity. Empowering People
Poverty plays a leading role in the abandonment of children who have one or two living parents. Lack of access to basic services, abuse, neglect, disease, disabilities and emergencies are frequent causes of abandonment.
When there is the option of a local orphanage, impoverished parents may abandon their child to the orphanage so the child will receive care. The truth is that these children will fare much better with their parents, when they have the proper support, than they will in an orphanage.
As Christians, we believe God created the family as the best environment for a child to develop and thrive. It takes wisdom and discernment as a donor to understand the true need of the child you’re helping. Even the best residential or institutional care can never compensate for the love of a mother or father. Supporting moms and dads by helping them provide food, education, and medical care to their children often keeps financial stress from breaking a family.
No family or child should ever be separated due to poverty!
