What We Do

Unnoticed by much of the world, millions of children face inconceivable hardships in their day-to-day lives. The numbers alone are striking.

• There are approximately 160,000,000 orphans throughout the world.

• Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development estimates that there are 17.5 million orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) nationwide.

• These children face enormous challenges to their health and development and it is estimated that 95 percent of OVC do not receive any type of medical, emotional, social, material, or school-related assistance (National Population Commission, Federal Republic of Nigeria, and ICF International 2013).

• About 70 percent experienced household food insecurity, putting them at risk for malnutrition (Tagurum et al. 2015).

• another 30% is addicted to drugs or alcohol, and while 10% commit suicide.

• This does not represent the countless number of homeless children living on the streets.

• Nearly 60% of families in Nigeria live below the poverty line.

The children we work with experience unimaginable tragedies and are often victims of extreme poverty, sexual abuse, physical and psychological trauma, trafficking, malnutrition, impaired development, and other harms.

By sponsoring mission trips, programs, funding, and partnerships, we prevent these children from becoming another of the many victims throughout the world. As stewards of Christ:

• We serve them to meet their physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs.

• We provide guidance, inspiration, and hope to children in seemingly hopeless situations.

• We are witnesses to the gospel aimed at instilling Christian love in the hearts of these children.

• We believe the uniqueness of each child should always take precedence as that is how God loves us - as unique individuals created by Him for His glory.
