Little 10-year-old Sylvia from Rwanda was abandoned by her mother, unknown by her earthly father, and is being raised by her disabled grandmother, who struggles to provide for Sylvia’s needs. Fortunately, they live in a World Relief Church Empowerment Zone, where local churches have undergone child protection training. Recently, nine members from Sylvia’s church decided to use that training to reach out in love to children like Sylvia. The nine members donated ten cents per month to buy a chicken for each vulnerable child. Sylvia can now provide food for herself and grandmother, and can sell the extra eggs to help pay for her schooling too. “I thank God who is a Father to the fatherless,” says this strong young girl.
