Africa Orphan Rescue

African orphans face threats of hunger and disease without a mum or dad to care for them. These children struggle bravely to survive.

Orphaned children must often travel many kilometres to collect water that is not fit to drink. They risk catching deadly diseases like typhoid and cholera.

Your regular gift of $20 a month will help to support orphans and at risk children in Africa, in countries like Kenya and Zambia. The first area to receive support will be Emali, in rural Kenya.

You will start by helping to provide clean water. Your donation will help to pay for new sand dams, wells, pipes and water tanks.

You will help to provide food - starting with high energy porridge at school. You will help to provide families with drought tolerant crops and training in animal husbandry to provide a healthier diet. Your regular gifts will also provide care to help orphans overcome their pain and grief.

Please don't wait any longer to help these children. Without parents to care for them orphans are especially at risk.
