Zzana Community Children’s Center in Uganda is home to almost 400 children.
All of them come from extremely poor backgrounds where regular meals, medicine, schooling, even a clean shirt or a warm blanket are luxuries. At Zzana the kids get all that and a lot more – they get to be children who laugh, play and dream of the future, grow up in a caring community with friends and adult mentors, and receive a solid education as well as vocational training on which to build their future. >>More |

OUR VISION FOR WORLD PEACE
-
Break the self-perpetuating cycle of poverty and conflict by providing deserving families an op-portunity for self-sufficiency through a $100 small
business loan.
-
Thousands of families then create more jobs, as well as providing new goods and services (like food and clothing) for the community.
-
Create 100,000 family businesses within a ten year period!
-
Families pay the loan back which then goes on to help another family.

This past summer a coalition of charities including Children’s Hunger Relief Fund journeyed to various countries in Asia in order to verify and inspect funded projects as well as possible future projects. The main theme throughout non-profit work in Asia is battling the massive sex slavery issue, which is estimated by the United Nations to have four million children and women involved. My journal is a day-by-day account of the projects, countries and people which we met along the way of trying to help with one of the world’s most heartbreaking tragedies. >>More

I have held Ethiopian children in my arms that died of starvation and disease only moments later. I have spoken with men and women who lost arms or legs during bombing raids in South Sudan, and watched these same people boiling tree leaves, hoping for some sort of nutrition to give their children. I have spoken to Filipino pastors who were tortured by Muslims because they refused to renounce their Faith. I have witnessed battles in the Philippine Provinces where the New People’s Army cut down innocent men, women and children. I thought nothing could match the horror of what I had already seen … until I saw 12 and 13 year-old girls being forced to sell their bodies. >>More

The area known as La Cinchona de Sarapiquí, in Alajuela, has been completely destroyed by the forces of nature, practically erasing it off the map.
Apocalyptic! is how the Diario Extra describes the aftermath of Thursday's 6.2 killer quake. More than 30 people have died, more than a 100 are still missing, and more than a 1.000 are housed in shelters. La Cinchona has been completely erased off the map. [Foto: Oldemar Siles]

Devastation Still Prevails in Sudan |
|
Although the fighting has ceased in southern Sudan, devastation has been left behind. In the rebuilding stages, Sudanese families are struggling to get their lives back together. They may not be running from tree to tree for safety, but many of their homes and livelihood have been destroyed.
In April 2007, Children’s Hunger Relief Fund ventured to poverty-stricken Sudan with another relief shipment. Two charter flights were filled with supplies such as food, salt, soap, mosquito nets, Jerry cans for water, cooking pots, plus fishing hooks and lines. Plastic sheeting and building materials were also provided for shelter.
While on the relief mission, members from the relief team of CHRF met with local leaders in Leer and Waat, along with the Vice-President of Sudan.
As the planes landed in Leer and Waat, Sudanese children rushed to help unload the relief aid, eagerly carrying sacks of food that closely outweighed them. Six tons of aid was delivered to Leer and five tons to Waat.
Because of your generous donations, hope was instilled in thousands of people that there can be a better future. |
