BethanyKids - bringing healing and hope to children with disabilities in Africa. Most families in Africa with disabled children cannot afford the surgery needed to help them live wholesome, contributing lives. BethanyKids offers the medical skills and financial resources to allow such children to receive corrective surgery for their spina bifida, hydrocephalus, cleft lip, cleft palate, burns and other disabling conditions. In 2011 it was our privilege to bring such hope and healing to more than 2,000 children and their parents / guardians. To multiply our impact we also train African doctors to perform these life-changing surgical procedures in their home settings.

Since 2003 we have funded over 700 initiatives, partnering with over 300 community-based, grassroots organizations in 15 countries. These grassroots groups are a lifeline for their communities: they provide education and counselling about HIV prevention, care and treatment; distribute food, medication and other necessities; reach into the homes of the sick and vulnerable through holistic home-based care; help children orphaned by AIDS and other vulnerable children gain access to education and cope with their grief; and support grandmothers, who are overwhelmingly the caregivers for their orphaned grandchildren. We exist to meaningfully collaborate on this important work, and to support the processes by which grassroots groups share ideas, strategize for change, and build unified networks across the African continent.

Liv4TheCure’s mission is to promote awareness, help families and fund research for Rare Genetic Diseases (starting with Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome). A rare disease is a disease that affects less than 200,000 people at any given time. Rare diseases affect 25-30 million Americans. Our goal is to bring awareness to rare diseases, specifically Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome which is a genetic deletion on the 4th chromosome that affects children in highly varied ways. A portion of our funds will go to helping families in need. The other portion of our funds will go to research, specifically gene therapy and replacement for the missing areas of the 4th chromosome that have been deleted. Liv4TheCure wants to fund the creation of a new platform technology such as CRISPR that will not only help children with WHS but any child with a genetic deletion.

Religious Liberty, in the Bible and the American Constitution, is America’s greatest gift to the world tormented by hate and by religious persecution. Our Mission, like the Good Samaritan, is to save lives from all kinds of persecution, rejection, or neglect and to confirm them in God’s image, the Author of all Goodness. Guided by the Spirit of the Lord, and in light of the Gospel, we toil to save the persecuted flock wherever that might be. With this, our initial aim is to protect and preserve Christianity and its roots; to restore hope, faith and love to all the children of Abraham. We serve based on the two greatest commandments of God: to love God with all your heart, and to love your neighbor as yourself. We work in all nations as peacemakers, forming new Apostles of Hope and Mercy for God, and sending them forth as ambassadors of Christ to the broken hearted and the oppressed, Proclaiming a Year Acceptable to the Lord.

Imagine an African village where a 14-year old girl stands proudly to advocate for human rights. Where she is safe from violence. Where she can go to school and become a woman before becoming a wife. Where she and her parents join a community-wide movement for health, democracy, and peace. Where together they are transforming the social and family networks that will shape her future. Good. Now imagine a few thousand more. Momentum is building across West Africa for a brighter future for girls and their communities. Tens of thousands of girls are now able to dream of a life free from violence and strive towards a future filled with knowledge, choice, and opportunity. Thousands of communities are making human dignity a reality. The next few years present a rare opportunity to transform the lives of 1.6 million people.
