The Anchor of Hope
Orphan and Family Foudation

 

Moldova is in a desperate situation. According to a Moldova census, there are 11,500 children in this country who don’t have parents. We work with three state-run orphanages serving a total of 1,000 orphans.   We supply these children with basic necessities such as food, clothing, and educational needs. Our main thrust is to win them to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The number of orphans in state-run institutions is dropping each year.  The country of Moldova is trying to join the European Union.  To do this, the country is not permitted to have orphanages.  The state is forcing the orphanage to get rid of the children to anyone they can find that will take them.  This is a tragedy for the children because they are being farmed out to terrible conditions with drunken families that will not care for them properly.
