Children that need love. Children that need hope.

- Every 15 SECONDS, another child becomes an AIDS orphan in
Africa.
- Every DAY 5,760 more children become orphans.
- Every YEAR 2,102,400 more children become orphans (in Africa
alone).
- 143,000,000 Orphans in the world today spend an average of 10
years in an orphanage or foster home.
- Approximately 250,000 children are adopted annually,
but...
- Every YEAR 14,050,000 children still grow up as orphans and AGE
OUT of the system.
- Every DAY 38,493 children AGE OUT.
- Every 2.2 SECONDS, another orphan child AGES OUT with no family
to belong to and no place to call home.
In Ukraine and Russia, 10% -15% of
children who age out of an orphanage commit
suicide before age 18. 60% of the girls
are lured into prostitution. 70% of the boys
become hardened criminals.
Many of these children accept job offers that ultimately result
in their being sold as slaves. Millions of girls are sex
slaves today, simply because they were unfortunate enough
to grow up as orphans.
Our mission, is to help these children by telling
their story. By telling their story, we will show the world their
lives, their hardships, their plight. We can make a difference.
You can help us.
