He was hungry all the time ...

While visiting the orphans in Central African Republic, we met Stanislas, a brave little nine-year-old boy.

His aunt had been caring for him since his parents died, but a few nights ago his aunt also died.

Life has been tough for all of his nine years. Now he faces the challenge of finding food on his own.

As an orphan in the Central African Republic, Stanislas' home is made of mud and sticks. He is hungry all the time because finding food is very difficult. His body is weak and his bones are twisted from malnutrition.

But Food for Orphans promised Stanislas that we would make sure he had food to eat every day. Yesterday he enjoyed a rare lollipop.

Last night, brave little Stanislas died.

We wish we had found him sooner.

Help Food for Orphans find them sooner. Help us be there for more children like Stanislas. Help us make Stanislas' 9 short years mean something by helping to feed more orphans in the Central African Republic -- and elsewhere.

Simply donate the cost of ONE meal out -- a mere $15.00 US -- each month to feed ONE orphan every day for ONE month.

Make your own ONE MEAL MIRACLE.

Don't let another Stanislas die because you hesitated.

Thinking about the orphans ...

Today there are more than 143 million orphans in the world; and every two seconds another child becomes an orphan.

42,000 new orphans every day
400,000 orphans die every year due to malnutrition
70% say that food is their greatest need
60 million orphans go to bed hungry
90 seconds, each time another orphan dies from malnutrition.

Sixty million orphans cry themselves to sleep every night with pain in their empty bellies ... alone, scared, and hungry. A lack of food is the orphan's biggest problem.

"The first three years of life are the most critical period of brain growth and development. Child hunger causes physical and mental impairment that may never be reversed. Child hunger also creates tremendous costs that are completely unavoidable. There is no better investment in a prosperous future than investing in ending childhood hunger." [John Cook, Ph.D., of the Boston Medical Center and Boston University School of Medicine, a nationally-recognized expert on child hunger ... http://feedingamerica.org/newsroom/press-release-archive/child-food-insecurity.aspx]

The mission of Food for Orphans is to make sure that as many orphans as possible receive at least one nutritious meal per day. But we can't do it without you. Please help us feed these precious orphans.

Make a difference in the life of an orphaned child. Show them that someone cares. Become their Champion.
