to provide hope to orphaned children in The DRC
Adoption-Link, a full service Hague-accredited adoption agency in Oak Park, Illinois, has joined forces with Acres of Hope (AOH), a charitable organization dedicated to supporting the vulnerable people of Liberia. Recently AOH expanded its mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, calling its program there “The African Alliance for Life.”
The Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC, is the second largest country in Africa with a population of nearly 72 million. Despite a wealth of natural resources the country has experienced devastating political instability and over 5 million DRC citizens have perished due to war and associated famine and disease. The African Alliance for Life will work with authorities to identify and find help for vulnerable children, including the verification of orphan status for children who have lost their families.
“The
goal of our new partnership is to aid and support families and orphans in The
DRC through social responsibility and, where
appropriate, adoption,” noted Noreen
Davidson, Executive Director of
Adoption-Link.
Stephanie Francois, Director of International Programs for
Adoption-Link, commented on the new relationship.
“We are so excited about our new DRC program. We are partnering with an
established organization with a huge heart for the DRC and Africa!
We look forward to finding families for the many children waiting for
permanent, loving homes.”
