Beacon 2008: Nigerian Women Association of Georgia Launches Campaign for Orphanages

In 2003, NWAG launched a bold new campaign to raise funds to support the children in the various orphanages in Nigeria.

Over the past five years, many of you have responded positively to that simple idea to make a difference in a child’s life. Some of you donated money in remembrance or in honor of loved ones. Many of the loved one we honored had spent their lives giving back to others. Hundreds of children have benefited from the generosity of strangers. Because of you—we made a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable in our country, the orphans! We increased the number of orphanages we supported in 2003 from two to seven. We plan to add even more orphanages this year.

The seven orphanages we are presently supporting are:

• Little Saints Orphanage, Palm Grove, Lagos State
• Seventh Day Adventist Mission Orphanage Home, Edeoha, Rivers State
• The Susana Home, Abia State
• The Ananwim Home in Abuja
• Zuma Memorial Orphanage in Irrua Edo State
• St. Anthony’s Destitute Center, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State
• Tenderlove Orphange, Awka, Anambra State

We come to you again this year to ask that you not to let the hope of our children die. Some of you will be joining our campaign for the first time, we thank you for the courage to step up and be counted. Your donation, like the mustard seed will continue to grow into a mighty forest. The process is very simple. We invite you to donate $50 or more in the name of a loved one living or who have passed on . The money will go to support the NWAG orphanage program. In return, you will receive a custom –made certificate in the name of your loved ones. You can hang this proudly in your home or office as a testament of your partnership with NWAG to make a difference in the lives of our children. You and those you honored will be recognized during our annual awards banquet.
