Nothing is more heartbreaking than children in need. And nowhere are the needs greater than in Africa. AIDS, war, famine, and diseases have all combined to leave more than 10 million children orphaned in sub-Saharan Africa. Most are destitute, hungry, homeless, and hopeless. They are left to fend for themselves in a hostile world.
Ghana has suffered major setbacks in the past, yet the people are hopeful that the future will be brighter. Currently many children have been orphaned due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic's sweeping effect on the country in the 1980's and 1990's. They are in desperate need of a healthy home environment in which to thrive.
The Agape Children's
Home is a full-service residential facility
with the sole purpose of caring for
orphans in Africa. The children have
lost both parents and have nowhere
else to go. Many of these orphans have
not been to school, and are sick and malnourished. Most have not had the opportunity
to hear the Gospel and have never attended church. All of the orphans are given their
own bed, food, medical care, and education at a private school. They are loved and
cared for by Christian staff.
