Many of our orphans have found generous sponsors here in Albemarle and Charlottesville but the need for help is great.

Sponsorship pays for a child’s food and its preparation, hygienic supplies, a share of the salaries of the house “mamas”, cooks, and teachers. There are also caretakers, an administrator and general maintenance costs to be provided.

We pay for medical care as needed when our medical teams are not at the clinic, as well as for all that “miscellaneous” stuff that add up so quickly.

Cost for a child for a year is $ 825 or about $ 69 per month.

In addition, there are about 302 children who will be attending the newly constructed school. The cost for one community child to attend the school for one year is $ 100. We welcome them all with no fees. Their uniforms are made in Grison-Garde – each child receives two. These children are the poorest of the poor and will have no education otherwise.

Please understand that ANY contribution in any amount is gratefully received and is delivered directly without any administrative fees. All funds are transmitted directly to the orphanage and school project.

All donations are fully tax deductible. Checks can be made out to:
