We hope you had a Merry Christmas and thanks so much to everyone who has set up recurring donations following our appeal on the 20th!
Today, we’re looking back on 2013. It’s been a fantastic year. Thanks to donors worldwide, we gave the orphanage’s existing kids the education, food, safe home, and enriching activities they need to grow into tomorrow’s leaders. In fact, the year went so well we were able to welcome three new children.
Those new kids, like Kristelle, had an incredibly difficult 2013. But thanks to our global network of supporters just like you, they have a safe, loving home – and they’ve had a Merry Christmas completely with a visit from Santa and a Turkey dinner.
Even better, the the orphanage has been able to launch a business selling eggs! Starting the orphanage’s chicken business is a huge step, and egg sales will start soon.
But we still don’t have the funding we need to launch the orphanage’s bus business. Without the bus business, the orphanage will remain predominantly reliant on international aid.
This New Year, we hope you’ll resolve to help us give kids like Kristelle a secure future by setting up a monthly donation for 2014. When you set up your recurring donation before the ball drops and 2014 begins, GlobalGiving will match your gift.

If you’re not ready to commit to a monthly donation, your one-off donation, whatever its size, will be gratefully received.
Thanks so much, and we wish you a very Happy New Year!
