Gift the gift that keeps on giving this Mother's Day!

Moms spend every day making the world a better and brighter place. 

This year why not honor her efforts by spreading that light even further?

This year you can give a gift that keeps on giving by making a donation to One Orphan in her honor or memory. Your donation will provide nutritional and medical support for children
living in our partner orphanages throughout Ethiopia, Africa.

Simply choose a donation amount (click here!) and we will
email you a beautiful card to present to mom,
highlighting her special day and the gift you gave in her honor.

Galations 6:9- And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

December and January Ethiopia Referrals!

The Ethiopia program is excited to announce that 4 referrals were matched with families between December and January!

Below is a list of the children referred this month and the Dossier to Ethiopia (DTE) dates of the families with whom they were matched. Please keep in mind some of these referrals may be sibling sets or children with special needs.

Also keep the following in mind when reviewing the chart above:

• Infant age range: Approximately 0-18 months
• Toddler age range: Approximately 19-47 months

Due to the recent trends of received referrals, the wait time for female and male children ages 0-4 is 48-60 months from DTE. This trend is based on recent history, but is subject to change and the overall trend is that the wait time is increasing. Though this is the current wait time it is not the timeframe all families should expect to experience. America World believes the wait time will continue to increase for healthy infants and toddlers.

Join us in praising God for the blessings of these referrals!

Stories of Hope: Ethiopia Transition Home Update

Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 

We recently informed the America World family of a huge need at our Ethiopia Transition home. We shared that huge need knowing that God is bigger, and that God continues to have a purpose for the children living in the transitional home. As your hearts were stirred many people and families stepped forward to stand
in the gap for our home in Ethiopia.

The goal has now been fully funded!

Your gifts will ensure that the home can continue to operate and provide a high level of care for the children living there. This includes our waiting children who have extensive needs and rely on specialized care.

We cannot thank you enough for you continued support and care for these children. As 2016 comes to a close we will continue to provide opportunities
to give back to the programs and orphanages we support through the day of hope.
