MESSAGES
The call for giving and serving others is deeply rooted in our global mission. Through ANIDA, we have been able to answer this call, providing global communities with the resources and help they need the most.
Over the last couple of years, we have seen more need for our services in the communities we support, and as a result, we have experienced immense growth! We know this is just the beginning, and we will only continue to help more and more people as we work towards our mission to alleviate poverty around the globe.
Even through the pandemic, ANIDA has successfully been able to navigate increased needs and obstacles worldwide. None of this would’ve been possible without our generous donors’ support. On behalf of our Board of Directors, we acknowledge that our efforts would fall short if not for your endless encouragement. It is a privilege to serve others, and we are blessed to be serving with you.

We are blessed to be serving with you.
In 2021, amid the pandemic, I sat in a small town located by a hillside in the Eastern Region of Ghana. From afar off, while observing the individuals continuing to push through the challenges brought by the pandemic, an unexpected encounter brought clarity and focus. I watched as Abena, an intelligent and hardworking woman, would enter our check-in station with her two children, Kojo and Danso. Rebounding from the lockdowns that momentarily halted her schooling at the Women’s Development Centre, I could see the determination in her eyes that she would continue working towards her dream of opening her own business. Her children also exhibited the same resilience as they followed around her with a big smile. I would later find out that the expression was due to their gratefulness to God for connecting them with donors who have been supporting them through the most challenging times. It reminded me that we play a role in unlocking the God-given potential of children and those less fortunate than ourselves. This unexpected encounter is the catalyst driving our passion for doing more for those who need it most.
With humility and compassion, we are taking action to improve as an organization, including updating our core values and guiding principles. We are also emphasizing collaboration in developing nations and introducing community projects that focus on increasing resilience. These actions are made possible by people like you who want to create a better future. Whether you are contributing your time, making a monetary donation, or having a conversation with a loved one about our programs, donors like you become a source of hope for the world.

OUR STORIES
ELLEN'S STORY: FROM THE MARKET TO THE CLASSROOM
The Liberia Civil War lasted from 1989 until 2003, and it was a devastating conflict for the people of Liberia, especially women and girls. An estimated 250,000 people were killed during the war, and many more were displaced. As a result of the war, Liberia is now one of the poorest countries in the world, and women and girls continue to face significant challenges.
Despite the challenges, there are many women and girls in Liberia who are working to create a better future for themselves and their country. One such girl is Ellen, a 10-year-old who lives in a small town in rural Nimba County. Her mother Rebecca takes care of Ellen, Susan, and Charlotte in their unfinished, un-plastered home. Ellen also sells packaged water in the market to help her mother make ends meet. The personal story of Ellen speaks to her faith and resilience through the suffering of extreme poverty, crippling opportunities, and broken households.

Children in a classroom learning. – Liberia
When she was younger, she never thought that she would be able to attend school. She came from a small village, and her family could not afford to send her to get her education. She always saw other children going to school and would watch them from afar while working at the market, wondering what it would be like to be able to go to school too.
Since ANIDA launched Liberia’s Hope for Tomorrow child sponsorship program in Ellen has been one step closer to living the life that every child deserves.
She shares that one day, ANIDA came to her village, and said that we would be able to sponsor her to go to school. Ellen was so excited, and she couldn’t believe it! Finally, she would be able to go to school and learn like all the other children.
Now, Ellen attends school regularly and is beginning to dream once again with the support of her family and community. Although life is not easy, Ellen puts her faith in God and is grateful for all the help and support she receives as part of the community ANIDA is working with.
Ellen is so grateful to ANIDA for giving her the opportunity to go to school. She knows that this is blessing from God and plans to use this opportunity to learn as much as she can.
