First and foremost – these kids are amazing and absolutely deserve all the help we can provide. Secondly – Project Canaan itself is a marvel. Despite untold obstacles, it meets the changing needs of countless children as they grow…it supports hundreds of local people with employment…and everywhere you turn they are leveraging sustainability. Finally – the need is real and it’s long term.

Heart for Africa gives these abandoned children all they need to grow and thrive. It’s such a small thing to show these children that other people in this world love them and want to give them a chance at a better life. Please support Heart for Africa by becoming a child sponsor today.
