We are pleased to announce that our current orphanages in
Afghanistan will
now be run under the auspices of a newly-recognized, government-registered NGO,
Afghan Child Education and Care Organization (AFCECO). This new entity will
allow the orphanage to gain greater access to assistance from available
governmental programs, at this crucial time when many international donors are
bolstering their support of the Afghan government with large donations.
The
orphanage coordinator you know so well, Andeisha, is the Director of this new
NGO. Your sponsored children will continue to be cared for and educated in the
same warm, loving, safe, and egalitarian manner. In fact, at a recent
celebration in honor of AFCECO receiving official status, several top government
officials were extremely impressed with the facilities. They proclaimed it to
be the best orphanage they had seen in
Afghanistan! AFCECO also won second
place among 50 other NGOS, in terms of having presented thorough documentation
when applying for their NGO status. So, Charity Help International is very
proud of the work Andeisha and others have accomplished at these orphanages and
will continue to do in the future.
Ripples

in 2001 in Meru, Kenya- serves children and families
impacted by HIV/AIDS. Low estimates
place approximately 27,000 orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in the Meru
Central district. Some estimates go as
high as 50,000 OVC. Ripples is currently
only able to serve approximately 547 OVC, 32 abandoned children under the age of 2
years, and 200 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This
translates into a need to service ratio of almost 35 to 1. You can help!

paths up the mountain; Interracial, because there is but one race - the
human race; International, because our neighbors are our family;
Intergenerational, because there is much to learn from our elders; and Internet-
Connected, because the world today is at our fingertips.
"Mathew's
Rule."All children in the care
of Orphans International must be given the same love and security that each of
our team members would give to their own children. The rule is named
after OI founder Jim Luce's adopted son, Mathew.
OIWW's Family Care" model arranges
for donors to provide on-going, monthly stipends for the financial, health and educational
