We Must Be Their Family
July 28, 2011
By: Staff member at A Better World Children’s Home
In Cameroon alone there are over a million orphans from AIDS. A generation of children growing up without their parents, leaving aged grandparents to try and support 10 or more grandchildren. Many times there are no surviving relatives and that is why A Better World Children’s Home was born.
No community in Cameroon is immune to the ravages of AIDS, no village free from its devastating effects. As members of the world community we are not exempt from the responsibilities this human tragedy brings. Spiritually, emotionally, physically, and medically it is one of the deadliest diseases, if not the deadliest, ever to strike the human race.
We must see that the story of AIDS is not about epidemiology, economics, or statistics. Rather, it is the story of guilt, pain, fear and neglect.
These orphaned children did not ask to be brought into the world only to be completely abandoned, with nowhere to go and no one to turn to.
We must be their family.
We can give them a chance, a home, and education and the emotional stability to grow up to become leaders in society.
That is our goal.
Our orphanage project is giving care and education to 44 orphans and we want to do more. Join and support us today to make the world a better and a safer place for these kids.

We visited a home in southern India and handed the camera over to the kids - and the took some amazing shots, including this one! You wouldn’t know it by meeting these funny, silly children, but they are all HIV positive. The Arias home is providing exceptional care so they may lead happy lives. #amazing #inspire #joy #happy #love #charity #kids #children #india #nofilter #art #hope #care #orphan
Meet Muskaar and Rajat, brother and sister living at AIW orphanage in Faridabad, India. This small home contains only 13 children, and everyone feels like they are part of a big family! #love #family #charity #happy #orphan #children #hope #positive #inspire #beauty #eyes #green #giveback #india

#TBT! Check out this video from our first little fundraiser we did back in 2010! We all have to start somewhere, and this is a great example of the ways YOU can be a Kitechild ambassador - hosting small get togethers in the community, donating a birthday, etc. are all great ideas! To get started, email ambassador@kitechild.org; we’d love to collaborate on some great ways to get involved and give back!
We’re excited to introduce our newest project, an Aquaponics farm in Honduras! A $4000 investment will build a Tilapia farm that will feed 27 children at Hogar de Amor fresh veggies and protein, while saving the home over $12,000 a year in food costs!

Our water project is already at 15% funded! A big thank you to our donors. Check out this picture of the actual Lifestraw filter being used by one of our partner homes. Just $27 buys one filter for 5 kids, lasting three years- and putting big smiles on their faces. www.kitechild.org/donate #water #healthy #smile #happy #children #charity #love #empower #kenya #africa #health #pure
Imagine spending hours a day boiling water so that you may safely drink it. Clean water is an essential right every child should have. World water day is this Friday- make a commitment by providing filters to our children in our partner homes in Kenya. www.kitechild.org/donate #water #worldwaterday #children #clean #pure #charity #empower #inspire #change #positive #kenya #africa
Our latest project is up! We’re excited to announce our clean water project for four orphanages in Kenya. They currently struggle to provide clean water to the children on a daily basis, but just $27 buys a filter that will last 3 years and provide clean, healthy water for up to 5 children. Please visit our site to learn more- and donate. http://bit.ly/16pP0z5 #water #charity #donate #invest #health #children #clean #empower #sustainable #kenya #africa
