Africa Vulnerable Children Project

AFRICA VULNERABLE CHILDREN PROJECT has been feeding and schooling hundreds of children, has dug a well providing clean water, has stabilized roofs, and is currently constructing a medical building; Above and beyond providing basic needs for people, this work has given back some dignity to people who had been forgotten. This work unites us all in humanity. Every dollar donated goes directly to Kantolomba where children are fed while attending school.

The people of southern Africa are faced with life-threatening challenges every day. Among the most severe are HIV/AIDS, malaria, malnutrition, and starvation. Children are especially affected. Even if they themselves do not become sick or die, children are likely to lose one or both parents to disease. Living Compassion is working to improve this situation by providing food and other necessities.

Please see the website for more details about this work It is impressive what a small group of people can do. Please consider supporting this nonprofit organization dedicated to peace and service.

To sponsor a child, go to:

HOW MUCH TO DONATE:

Consider this from the website: "In August 2005, we began feeding 40 children. Today that number has grown to more than 250, plus the children are now going to school. $12 per month pays for one child to attend school and eat lunch every day."
