Abide Family Center

Written By Sherry Lopez - May 03 2016

We are happy to announce our partnership with Abide Family Center.  Abide Family Center is based in Jinja, Uganda and their chief goal is to equip families with sustainable income so that they can keep families together rather than having children be placed in Orphanages.

Here is a brief excerpt from their website:

Our goal is to reduce the number of children in orphanages in Uganda.  Abide family Center firmly believes that poverty should never be the reason children are separated from their families. 

We offer family preservation services through:
Intake and investigation into cases of at-risk families for placing orphaned and vulnerable children (OVCs) in orphanages
 
Direct services to at-risk families:
1. Case management by trained social workers
2. Emergency and transitional housing for a maximum of three months
3. Early childhood education for OVCs  0 - 6 years of age
4. Business classes for care givers with certificates upon graduation
5. Small grants for business class graduates
6. Pastoral counseling and Bible studies with our full-time pastor
7.  Parenting Discussion Group for care givers currently in our programs 
 
Join us in supporting Abide Family Center by shopping from our store. 15% of all sales will be donated to Abide.

Preemptive Love

Written By Bryan Lopez - July 23 2015

There is no question that there is an ever growing need to help the medically fragile in the middle east. The tolls of war and the lack of medical care is increasing the need. That is where YOU step in. Every purchase of the love necklace gives back to this cause.

Hundreds of thousands of women, children, and elderly have been forced from their homes. With winter coming, they need your help. Your donation can help provide winter clothing, housing, education, and healthcare for people suffering from persecution and displacement.

For example:
$25 can send a displaced child back to school.
$75 can supply an entire family with blankets and heaters for the winter.
$250 can provide a lifesaving heart surgery for a child in need.
