Mission: Providing healing, education, and refuge to vulnerable children worldwide
Results: Some of our recent accomplishments include:* We continue to provide nurturing foster care in China, Cambodia, Uganda, and India, including our Safe Haven foster care program for trafficked or abused children. Our foster care program has allowed over 3500 children to live in home-care versus an institution. LWB has local managers on site in every foster care community who check on the progress of the children in their foster homes every month. * LWB’s medical program continues to provide surgeries to children abandoned with conditions such as cleft lip, spinal tumors, congenital heart defects, and more. Our Unity Initiative for impoverished children also provides heart surgeries when their parents are unable to afford care. * Our Healing Homes program provides care to vulnerable babies who have been abandoned with medical needs. *LWB's education program helps children of all ages with several different programs. Over 3700 children have received access to education, from preschool through college. Our Believe in Me schools in rural Cambodia provide primary school education to children in remote villages, while our education scholarship program helps orphaned and impoverished children in China, Cambodia, and Uganda. * Our nutrition program is helping to provide much-needed formula, cereal and hot lunches to children of all ages in LWB programs. We help provide specialized baby formula to children with issues such as prematurity and milk allergies. LWB provides daily hot lunch to the children in our Cambodian schools, as childhood malnutrition rates are extremely high in the rural regions where we are working. We are also providing emergency food relief to the most vulnerable children and their communities during COVID.
