Day 2 – The Twelve Days of Christmas Giving

Each day from December 12-24 my family has chosen to make a donation to a different nonprofit.  Here is our choice for day 2!  Click the link at the bottom if you want to read the introduction and day 1

Day 2:  World Orphans

Day 2 features World Orphans – the non-profit that has been a part of my life since 2011.  World Orphans mission is simple, we exist to inspire and mobilize the church to care for children until they all have homes.  We do that through church partnerships and economic empowerment efforts focused on wholistic care and family preservation.  We partner U.S. Church with Churches in 10 other countries who then provide spiritual guidance, food, medical care, education and empowerment opportunities to the families of about 20 children per church.  My work is focused on economic empowerment and our savings group and micro loan program in Ethiopia have exceeded our expectations.  We are also making significant progress with savings groups and a women cooperative in Guatemala and in 2019 we kicked off our first cycle of training and loans in Haiti.  I could go on and on about World Orphans, but I won’t – although if you are interested I’d love to tell you more sometime.  Feel free to search the old posts on this blog to see many post about World Orphans over the years.  Our family has decided to direct our gift today towards helping the Kurdish people and refugees we are serving in Northern Iraq.
