He Sets The Lonely In Families

When a child loses a parent, what that child needs most is a family, a school desk, and somebody who knows their name.

That is the care ACF South Region gives.

Wherever it is possible, we place orphaned children with their own relatives — an aunt, a grandmother, an elder brother — and we stand behind that household so the child can stay in it. Where no family remains, we place them somewhere safe and keep watch.

A child growing up among people who love them is the nearest thing to restoring what was lost. By God’s grace, that is the work this region has taken up, and it is carried by brethren who know these children by name.

Will you help carry a child?

School fees, clothing, food and the steady presence of someone checking in.

How We Care

🏠

Family First

Children are placed with relatives wherever that is possible, and the household is supported so the placement holds.

📖

Schooling & Welfare

Education and wellbeing are attended to by people who know these children and see them week by week.

🙏

Watched Over

Orphan care is one of the sections our Sierra Leone team reports to regional leadership every single month.

Orphan care sits inside the South Region’s standing monthly commitment, alongside the clinic payroll and the youth work. It is funded in season and out of season, month after month, and it is one of the commitments this fellowship keeps most faithfully.

Across the region, chapters also support orphan care within their own assigned countries, through partners they have known for years.
