Access to the future for students with disabilities..

According to the World Health Organization, 80% of persons with disabilities live in developing third world countries and account for 15- 20 % of the worlds poorest. “It is important to bear in mind that facts are very hard to obtain, as so many disabled people are hidden and anonymous with regard to official statistics.”

Disabled people of working age in developed and developing countries are 3 times more likely to be unemployed and live in real poverty

Imagine being handicapped in a third world country where there is little to no help or resources. Imagine not being able to attend college because you get around in a wheel chair and there are no wheel chair ramps to access college buildings. What would your future be?

Cuttington University, one of the oldest universities in Africa, is one such university in Liberia. While Cuttington has been dedicated to helping talented, motivated students develop their skills, define their goals, and follow their dreams, they lack some much needed wheel chair ramps so that handicap students can access the buildings and attend college.

Global Orphan Outreach along with Cuttington University is inviting you to help open the world of education to students with handicaps by helping us to raise the funds necessary to build several wheel chair ramps through out the Cuttington campus. Cuttington has made the commitment to provide the labor to build the ramps and all that is needed is the funds to build them.

Wont you help today? Help these students access their college thus having access to a bright future for themselves. Contact Global Orphan Outreach and ask how you can help. All donations are tax deductible. Call us at #715-415-4401 or email us at www.globalorphanoutreach.org

Little Dresses for Africa...

Changing lives one little dress at a time…

Little Dresses for Africa is a non-profit, Christian based organization which provides relief to the children of Africa. Simple dresses are made out of pillow cases and distributed through the orphanages in Central Africa to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy!

Knowing the history of the girls in Africa and the difficult road that lay ahead, a small group of ladies returning from a short term mission trip to Malawi began to sew simple little dresses made out of pillow cases to be distributed to young girls through the orphanages in Africa. It continues to grow as groups spring up across America. To date we have received dresses and donations from 47 states across the USA and received over 35,000 little dresses that have been distributed in 10 countries of Africa!

Little Dresses for Africa recently sent Forget-Me-Not Children's Homes 3 big boxes of dresses to take with them to Liberia, Africa in April. The dresses are adorable and the girls will look wonderful in them. We will happily be distributing extra dresses to little girls in orphanages there as well.

Thank you Little Dresses for Africa. For helping girls in Liberia feel special, worthy, and loved. We look forward to sharing pictures with everyone when we come back in April. :0)
