Kawelu Orphans Page One

There are eleven children at Kawelu that are living with either elderly grandmothers, or guardians because they have lost their parents in one way or another. The guardians, especially the elderly grandmothers, do not have the means to take care of the students and provide them with their essential needs. These eleven students are in great need of assistance. We are currently seeking individuals that may be interested in sponsoring one or more of these eleven orphans.

The Mathias family:  The Mathias family has a partial sponsor.
These four children live with their elderly widowed grandmother.  All four of these children are malnourished because their elderly grandmother is unable to feed them properly.
