It’s a busy period for us as we personally distribute thousands of Christmas Hampers to poor and needy people across Southern Africa. These photos are from Zimbabwe last week where we discovered homes without any adults, only children (the parents had died from HIV).
This week we will continue our efforts in rural parts of South Africa, and we have another truckload leaving for Zimbabwe tomorrow.
It’s such a blessing to be able to help those who are less fortunate (in fact many of these folk are desperate).
Wishing you all a blessed Christmas! |

Its almost impossible to deliver aid into Somalia, one of the more remote and dangerous regions of the world. Most non-governmental organizations (NGO's) have left due to the insecurity. The United Nations have had 8 of its staffers and 24 aid workers killed this year. Convoys of food aid are attacked and hi jacked while aid workers face kidnapping or death . . .
Inspite of difficulties and endless challenges (our workers being detained for hours, harrased, endless roadblocks, guns pointed & threatened) our team managed to succesfully deliver and distribute 70 000 meals of food aid to 500 internally displaced families seeking refuge in Northern Somalia.>>More

Over the past year it has been a blessing to see how that the partnership of Children’s Hunger Relief Fund and Children’s International Lifeline has accomplished so much. During the most difficult economic times that we have seen in many years Lifeline has been able to make great strides forward in many directions. My hope is that this letter and the newsletters, which we send you each month, can give you a small glimpse of the enormous impact that your partnership with Lifeline has made.>>More

I have held Ethiopian children in my arms that died of starvation and disease only moments later. I have spoken with men and women who lost arms or legs during bombing raids in South Sudan, and watched these same people boiling tree leaves, hoping for some sort of nutrition to give their children. I have spoken to Filipino pastors who were tortured by Muslims because they refused to renounce their Faith. I have witnessed battles in the Philippine Provinces where the New People’s Army cut down innocent men, women and children. I thought nothing could match the horror of what I had already seen … until I saw 12 and 13 year-old girls being forced to sell their bodies. >>More

This past summer a coalition of charities including Children’s Hunger Relief Fund journeyed to various countries in Asia in order to verify and inspect funded projects as well as possible future projects. The main theme throughout non-profit work in Asia is battling the massive sex slavery issue, which is estimated by the United Nations to have four million children and women involved. My journal is a day-by-day account of the projects, countries and people which we met along the way of trying to help with one of the world’s most heartbreaking tragedies. >>More

Because of the effect that water shortages have had on crops and pastureland, Ethiopia has requested assistance to meet the nutritional needs of people in six of the country’s nine states. UNICEF estimates six million Ethiopian children under the age of five are at risk of malnutrition and more than 120,000 have only about a month to live. More>>

OUR VISION FOR WORLD PEACE
-
Break the self-perpetuating cycle of poverty and conflict by providing deserving families an op-portunity for self-sufficiency through a $100 small
business loan.
-
Thousands of families then create more jobs, as well as providing new goods and services (like food and clothing) for the community.
-
Create 100,000 family businesses within a ten year period!
-
Families pay the loan back which then goes on to help another family.
