OPEN YOUR HEART  TO AN ORPHANED CHILD

It is essential that these children have a stable living environment, a place to live, nutritious food to eat, etc. Born to Aid will work with orphanages to discuss ways in which the foundation could improve their ability to care for these children.  It has become clear from the experience of other foundations that, although orphanages serve a valuable purpose at some point, they are not the best way to provide a healthy, sustainable, and constructive upbringing for these children. In fact, lately the trend has seen orphanages closing in favor of finding ways to return the children to the village in an attempt to reintegrate them into families.

Even before the official beginning of Born to Aid several years ago, the people involved with its formation had been caring for orphaned children for 7 years, raising them, feeding them, educating them, and providing for their health care. Over the last 10 years at least 20 children have been cared for and of those, 8 have become independent and returned to their villages.The foundation strives to create an atmosphere where learning can take place in a safe, clean, loving environment where children will be able to see that the results of what they learn and do will help ensure a strong base for their own future. We don't want to do the job for them, we want to enable them to do it for themselves.
