Our 2021 Annual Report is a celebration!
From Gabriel Walder, CEO:
In a year of continued disruption across the globe, there is still a good reason for us to celebrate. Actually, there are thousands of reasons.
Last year you showed 2,386 orphaned and vulnerable children in Zambia that God cares about them. You showed them in ways they could touch, through food, shelter, and school supplies.
You also showed God's care in ways that children could feel, by helping their parents and caregivers provide for them. Your gifts and prayers defended them against forces that would seek to steal, kill, or destroy the abundant life God intends for every child, everywhere (Jn 10:10).
There is even more to celebrate. You helped grow the family-based care movement through our consulting work as ACE Transition Partners.
Last year we guided organizations that serve 25,000 children—ten times the number of our direct programs! In Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Lebanon, and Nicaragua, our partners brought children out of institutions and into families where they are secure and loved for a lifetime.
It is true that "no branch can bear fruit by itself" (Jn 15:4). You made this celebration possible, and so I celebrate you, too. What wonderful things God has done through us!
