Are you one of 100 sponsors that will take up the cause of the fatherless (Isaiah 1:17) and make a difference?
Since 2001, the orphanage in Liberia has been funded by adoptive families through Americans for African Adoptions. In 2009, the door for adoptions of healthy children closed and the funding stopped. From 2009 to now the orphanage funding has been sparse. Donations are given at inconsistent times, staff aren't able to be paid some months, and each month the orphanage must consider the option of closing for good.
100 sponsors at $40 per month changes lives!
