We at Chrit Children Home Education Fund (CCHEF) want to thank all of you donors for supporinting the GLOBALGIVING FOUNDATION in it's efforts to eradicate and prevent the return of the deadly Ebola virus. This disease as we know, has ripped through west Africa and devasted the region leaving about 15,000 people dead, more than 5000 orphans and leaving even thousands more displaced, discriminated against, stigmatized, homeless, fearful, and without hope. But through the goodwill, passion, generoursity and empathy displayed by of all of you donors out there, thousands of people have been healed and tended to by many of the GLOBALGIVING partners like us who have gone into communities and affected the lives of people who were impacted greatly by this dreadful epidemic

The $5,000 grant entrusted to us through GLOBALGIVING went a long way to help us locate and serve 200 survivors which includes 50 orphan children who parents died from the Ebola virus with basic necessities,medical care, scholarships, school uniforms, books, shoes, stationaries and all the necessary tools needed to take them through the school year. One of our orphans who I call my princess is a 2 year old baby girl name Favor who mother was a nurse at the Phebe Hospital in Bong County Liberia during the height of the Ebola crisis in 2014 and died from the Ebola virus after caring for patients without the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Favor today lives with her grandmother who is struggling to care for her due to very limitted or no finances,that's where we stepped in with your help to care for her by putting her in daycare where she is cared for and feed with nutritional meals. Her grandmother said quote "Thank you all for all the help and that without your help I will not be able to go through this".

While the number of Ebola paients have dwindled, the scars of it's wrath continues for example hunger, lack of education, medical problems, and sadly homelessness to orphans and others: therefore we must remain vigillant in assisting those who have been impacted severely by this disease especiallythe orphan children. We know that there is still a lot of work to be done but with your continued help we can continue to affect and enrich the lives of those that have been scared by this dreadful disease by helping to uplift them and bring back optimism and dignity to their lives. In conclusion, we say THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU for partnering with GLOBALGIVING to ensure that thaousands of people can be provided with the basic necessities such as food, medical care, and education which is very important to prepare the next generation of Liberian leaders. Please take the time and check out all the pics and videos in the attachments and if you have please feel free to contact us.

Help 44 orphans in Liberia stay in school

By Adolphus Hall | Founder/President

We at CCHEF just want to say thank God and You our donors for the opportunity and finances you have entrusted us with to serve underprivileged orphans at Christ Children Home orphanage in Liberia. We can assure you that every penny given to our organization will be used in the proper way to benefit and enrich the lives of our chilldren by grantiing them a high quality education and care to prepare them for a great future towards adulthood. Through your generousity, our 44 orphan children are realizing their dreams and potential by being in school and living in a loving and nurturing home where they have no fear of starvation, malnutrition, homelessness, and illiteracy. These children are learning and in the process becoming the next generation of leaders that Liberia so desperately need.

With the funding received so far, we were able to get our 44 children in school with all their necessities such as registration, uniforms, notebooks, books, pencil and stationay. Also we've been able to provide 3 nutritious meals, a back to school cook out program after the long school layoff due to the Ebola crisis, medical care, and building materials for the girls dormitory at the new school campus . As was elluded to in the project, our currentl school at the orphanage has very limmited space for the children to thrive and grow in the proper manner, so we are in the process of building a new 26 acre location called the Comprehensive Academic Center (CAC) which will be equipped with classes from k througth 12th grade, girls and boys dorms, Library ( the only one in the region), dining hall, play ground, and well/reservoir. Upon completion of all phases, We will be able to house 100 orphans and the school building will have the capacity to educate over 600 children.

We are exoted about the future of these children and with your continuos help we look forward to what God has in store for us in reaching and educating underpriveleged orphans regardless of their race, tribe, or religion. The children at Christ Children Home extend their love and want to thank all of you for your support in enriching their lives and dreams just to become part of a loving family. Without your love and support to us, none of our progress accomplished so far would have been a reality. We know there is still a lot of worik left to be done, but together we can make it happen THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU.
