Help rescue and care for children in Ghana
In accordance with local customs in parts of northern Ghana, children born with a disability may be considered to be 'spirit children', and their lives placed at risk. Sister Stan runs the Nazareth Home for God’s Children, a haven where children like Sarah are given shelter, nutritious meals, healthcare and education as well as unconditional love.
Help rescue children today!
