- Life Caring Orphanage
- Recently we began working with the “Life Caring Orphanage”, which cares for orphans from babyhood until they are grown and able to care for themselves. We’ve recently delivered 13 brand new mattresses for the orphans and donated a freezer, and other food items.
- Christmas at an Orphanage
- During Christmas 2007, we participated in a Christmas program for an orphanage in Enugu State. The venue, food, and drinks we’re all donated by sponsors.
- Christmas/year-end party for orphanages and the disabled
- In conjunction with our Family Care office in Port Harcourt, which has a performance group for children, we organized a special Christmas party at the Enugu Cheshire Home for teenagers with polio. We also invited the three orphanages we work with in the region to attend.
- Ibadan End-of-Year Programmes
- In Ibadan we checked on all our programmes and training courses that were running for the year, making sure that all was in order and ready to restart in 2007. We also held Christmas parties for the Ibadan School for the Deaf and a home for underprivileged, handicapped, and street children.
- Educational and Community Support, Enugu and Ufuma, Anambra State

- Enugu State and Project Kaduna

- Investing in the Future
- Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” That is one of the foundation principles of our work with orphanages throughout Nigeria. These are bright children with the ability to succeed, given the opportunity and proper instruction.
