 Current Foundation Projects
Acacia Village Ethiopia
Acacia Village is a brand new humanitarian aid project launched by CWF at the beginning of 2008. Acacia Village is named after the acacia tree which is found all over Africa. It is known as a tree that shelters and protects. Now, with Acacia Village, CWF will be a sheltering and protecting presence for needy children in Ethiopia.
FamilyBuilder
Fund Grants
Our FamilyBuilder Fund is a response to the needs of parents
who have the heart to adopt, but not always the means. The FamilyBuilder
Fund is a financial grant to help cover adoption expenses for parents
who adopt through CWA. Grants are made to families on a case by
case basis according to need and funds available. As of June 2006,
over $37,000 in grant monies have been distributed to several grateful
CWA adoptive parents.
KidStart
Plan
Christian World Foundation began the KidStart Plan to
start children living in our foster homes on a better diet, and
to help older orphans make the transition to their new adoptive
families. Fresh foods and enriched formula will ensure that these
children will receive a more balanced, nutritious diet. Older children
will be tutored in some basic life skills to prepare them for the
adjustments they will face in America. Ethiopian orphans need a
better start in life. Help them by donating to the KidStart Plan.
Past Foundation Projects
Coats4Kids
Coats4Kids began in 2001 to provide children in China,
Eastern Europe and Latin America with new warm winter coats. Our
first year’s goal was to raise $25,000 to purchase 1,000
coats. That goal was exceeded by $13,000! Since then, Coats4Kids
has raised over $150,000, providing thousands of children all over
the world with coats, clothing and shoes.
Sunshine
Health
Not all Chinese infant orphans are provided the benefits
of two very essential elements for a good start in life: nutrition
and exercise. Just the sheer number of children to be cared for
is a tremendous responsibility and challenge for China’s
child welfare centers. That’s why Christian World Foundation
has started the Sunshine Health Project, to provide infants with
enriched formula and bounce chairs. Formula will help ensure that
infants will get a balanced, nutritious diet, and the chairs will
aid in stimulating their physical development, both contributing
to their overall health and well-being.
The
Tomorrow Plan Project
In June of 2004, the Chinese government launched perhaps
the largest, 3-year humanitarian aid initiative in history: to
provide corrective surgeries to 30,000 handicapped orphans. Christian
World Foundation has created a special website to encourage agencies
and parent support groups to become sponsors and donate to this
worthy cause.
Comforting Kids
China’s Centre of Adoption Affairs grateful for $10,000
gift going to various orphanages to get air conditioning and heating
units.
The Safonovo
Boarding School Project
Orphans in the Smolensk region of Russia have an
opportunity to be trained in a vocational school setting. Safonovo
started as an agricultural school, but has stalled due to a slumped
economy. CWF wants to help raise $100,000 to effect much needed
repairs and strengthen this worthy endeavor to give kids hope for
a brighter future. |
