SELAM children are looked after for an average of 20 years. During this time, the children's villages become their family and this also entails a great deal of financial responsibility.
Just as important as the financial aspect is the impact that the SELAM Children's Villages have on the children's lives. They find a sense of belonging, security and stability at SELAM.
Your Christmas donation will help to ensure that the SELAM Children's Villages continue to be a family for orphans and disadvantaged children in the future.
Growing up in the children's village is
very nice and fulfilling. Here I have learned that blood relationship is not
decisive for a family. The brothers and sisters I grew up with here - especially those with whom I had the honor of praying together and attending church services
will forever remain my brothers and sisters.
- Atsede W. (19 years old), student and SELAM Wukro child
“Humanity is a value that I take with me from my time in the children's village. I often remember that people who lived far away and hardly knew me personally cared so much about my well-being.”
- Abraha B. (40 y.), Operations Manager at SELAM Wukro, former SELAM Wukro child
