Today's news out of Ethiopia is not new. Millions starving.
Millions without food or water. Millions trapped in extreme poverty.
Millions
is a concept we've accepted in our news reporting. If everyone in Colorado Springs was starving, we
wouldn't quite get to "millions." Hard to comprehend.
Here's what I know. CHC's kids don't starve. They don't drink dirty
water. They are protected from abuse. They are sheltered from child
labor. They are put through school to help develop their potential. Our
kids are numbered in the thousands. And guess what? I've got 5,000 more
who are waiting for a home.
This Christmas, CHC is going to launch a dynamic campaign to bring
5,000 new children into our CarePoint's throughout Africa. But with
today's news of "millions" starving in Ethiopia, we've got to step up
our plans a bit. I need to get the feeding centers up and running as
soon as possible.
DONATE $20 TO BUILD A KITCHEN IN ETHIOPIA
(Put "Carepoint Kitchen" in the Notes)
The CarePoint is anchored by it's kitchen and the food prepared
there. That life saving food draws children by the hundreds who are
starving. We can serve 2-3 meals a day, every day, once the kitchen is
up and running. Once the kids are coming regularly, we can provide
additional services–education, healthcare, and Christian discipleship.
But it all starts with food.
A
kitchen costs $8,000 and will serve about 400 kids. $20 per kid puts a
kitchen in place that serves food year over year over year. In
Swaziland, those kitchens serve hundreds of meals a day to children in
our discipleship program. We can do the same in Ethiopia.
DONATE $20 TO BUILD A KITCHEN IN ETHIOPIA
(Put "Carepoint Kitchen" in the Notes)
$20 that you give today becomes the anchor for hundreds of children
to never starve. The key to not starving in Ethiopia is simple. Fund
simple interventions–like kitchens run by locals and funded by U.S.
Christians–that can serve food to those in need. Then teach those kids
how to grow into productive and faithful adults. We can break this
cycle. It starts with $20. Please give today.
