Fifteen million children have been orphaned by AIDS in Sub Sahara Africa. Every 14 seconds a child is orphaned by AIDS.
In South Africa alone, AIDS has claimed the lives of parents and relatives leaving more than 1.2 million children without loving family members to care for them.
Each child is gripped with feelings of abandonment, isolation and hopelessness. Just imagine their pain caused by the emotional, physical and sexual abuse they experience just to have a roof over their heads and food to nourish their bodies.
And yet, in these poverty-stricken villages, God’s boundless strength finds refuge in the heart of these tenacious and loving children–each one of them precious in the eyes of God.
This is God’s calling on our hearts. This is what fuels our passion.
