Now, more than ever, these children are counting on us.  

Ethiopia

Can you help?

For the past 16 years, Wide Horizon For Children has been lifting vulnerable families out of poverty.  Through high-impact, cost-efficient programming including child sponsorship, empowerment grants, education, school feeding and medical missions, over 50,000 children and families have opportunities for a brighter future.

With country-wide disruptions due to this pandemic, their urgent need is for food. Our goal: to provide $100,000 to help our dedicated staff on the ground provide emergency food rations to destitute families in our communities and establish a medical emergency fund.

“Our sponsorship families are the poorest of the poor. It is urgent that today, we provide them with emergency food purchases to save lives during the impending lock down. We are facing a devastating situation. Our families need us in this moment.”

Guatemala

Can you help?

Wide Horizons For Children has been supporting two small, family-like orphanages in Guatemala for 18 years. These hogares offer loving environments for abandoned, abused and orphaned children, helping them thrive and heal from earlier traumas.

Right now, infections are rising and the urgent need is for medical supplies and supplemental food. Our goal:  to raise $50,000 for emergency purchases for the 100 children living in these homes.

“Coronavirus is a word nobody in Guatemala wants to utter. We have lost most of our staff, food reserves are scarce and local donations have stopped. At this time, it is essential to keep the children safe and continue a normal life. But it is not easy. I fear we won’t get the help we need.”

Around the world

Can you help?

COVID-19 is starting to have a devastating effect on the vulnerable kids we serve around the world. They face starvation, caretaker shortages and rising infection rates.

The travel ban is especially distressing because orphans – most with special needs – cannot go home to their forever families. This keeps them from the security and love only a family can provide … and ramps up orphanage costs while they wait.
