Acacia Village



Our friend Ben Dalton works for CWA (Christian World adoption) and just emailed us a link to their Acacia Village project. Below is a little glimpse of what's going on. For more info and to watch the video click here.

"With so many children being orphaned and desperate for medical care, a facility is needed where these children can be healed and transitioned into adoptive families. That facility is Acacia Village Ethiopia. Acacia Village is named after the Acacia tree, which is found all over Africa. It is a tree known for its capacity to shelter and protect. Acacia Village will shelter and protect not only needy children in Ethiopia, but much more.

Acacia Village Ethiopia is the newest and most far-reaching humanitarian project ever undertaken by Christian World Foundation. Situated on 10,000 square meters of land west of Addis Ababa, Acacia Village will encompass a variety of buildings, including housing for orphans, school classrooms, a medical clinic, and a pregnancy care center. Acacia Village will house CWA families adopting from Ethiopia, as well as host mission groups from the United States.

Acacia Village Ethiopia will serve as a compassionate answer to the crises and cries of so many needy children in Ethiopia."
