4 reasons why Daughters of the King Orphanage is an urgent need for Bolivia:
1. At the beginning of this year, a Bolivian newspaper published, “Global statistics show that 20% of children 18 and under receive physical aggression; and in Bolivia the percentage is higher with 34%.” With over-crowded government run orphanages, many institutionalized children are trying to protect themselves from such aggressions.
2. According to UNICEF, 19% of women in Bolivia are illiterate, as opposed to 7% of men. Daughters of the King Orphanage will not only provide a complete education for the girls but they will also receive leadership, financial and skills training to escape the cycle of poverty from which they came.
3. Although Bolivia’s constitution takes into account women’s rights – there is still high levels of violence and discrimination. The macho mindset is such a part of the culture that many women see this negative treatment as acceptable. Girls at Daughters of the King Orphanage will have the opportunity to develop a mature spiritual life and know they are loved and valued by God.
4. James 1:27 says, “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit the orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” In reference to this verse, Jedd Medefind, president of the Christian Alliance for Orphans said, “As we do this, we reveal God’s heart to the world. Whether by adoption or foster care or supporting the local Church in care for orphans around the globe, we display the astonishing reality that the Great One cares passionately for the least. And in the process, we experience God’s heart more deeply ourselves as well.”
