The History of Christian World Foundation

Christian World Foundation (CWF) exists to help feed, clothe, medicate, educate, and care for children of the world without regard for their color or class. CWF’s humanitarian work is inspired by Christian faith in action principles. CWF is able to rapidly impact the lives of children because of it's experience and in country relationships.

Christian World Foundation is a 501c3 organization with a track record of successful humanitarian projects. CWF has a history of providing transformative, sustainable, leveraged and replicable humanitarian aid in a variety of countries.

CWF built a crisis pregnancy center in Jalisco, Mexico, where we were able to house up to 14 expectant mothers at a time. We paid all of their expenses, including medical needs, and let them make the decision after the birth as to whether or not they would keep the child. The last year we had a presence there, we had 47 young women go through our home. Approximately one half of these mothers were able to keep their children, and integrate them into their families.

In other countries CWF has rebuilt orphanages, installed heating and plumbing systems, put new roofs on schools, built playground systems, refurbished rooms and added washers and dryers and other needed equipment. Our education experience includes purchasing sewing machines and related equipment to teach young women a trade, instituting language courses, baking schools, and other related projects that taught children independence and real-life skills.

Christian World Foundation’s latest and most ambitious project is called Acacia Village and is located in Ethiopia. Since 2004, we have established excellent relationships with the Ethiopian government, and God has blessed us with wonderful and experienced staff. Acacia Village is sustainable because CWF already has experience with a working model for taking children in and providing shelter and hope. As a part of our agreement with the Ethiopian government, we are involved in several other humanitarian aid projects including feeding programs, medical assistance and schooling for children.

We help support eight small transitional homes for orphans in Ethiopia. Each year, hundreds of children come to these homes without food, shelter, education or adults to care for them. These children have been orphaned due to disease, abject poverty and abandonment. There is no social welfare system to care for these children. In many cases, these homes are the only things standing between these children and death.

Whether through direct humanitarian aid to children waiting to be adopted or through grants to families to help fund an adoption through the FamilyBuilder Fund, CWF is making a difference in the lives of children and families—every day.
