EIN # 35-2384716 HVWCA was born in 2010 as a self-help project, to help all less fortunate people, in Africa. I had seen the need for help, first hand, when I lived on a refugee settlement, from November 2009 until March, 2012. I seen many people sick, and some dying, of malaria, cholera, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and more, not only on the refugee camp, but in the general population, and sadly, because of no money, for medical care, and nothing to eat, to fight off the diseases, there wasn't anything their families could do, but watch as their loved ones continued to grow, weaker and finally die. I seen many people living in abject poverty, with no way out, that’s when I decided to do something about it, but on a small scale, I simply didn't have funds to do anything else. I started a small feeding program, for families, and payed some children's medical bill. I also noticed, that most of the children were not attending school, so I choose a handful of children and payed school fees. When it came time for me to leave, I couldn't close my eyes, leave, and forget about what i saw, and experienced. That's why this page exists, for those who need us, for those who are not equipped to help themselves. Please don't close your eyes, but instead, open your hearts, and know the satisfaction of helping the desperately poor, some who have not eaten for days, some who are now laying sick and helpless, perhaps dying, and some, that unlike our kids, have never had a chance to attend school. I am so blessed to have this privilege, but I can't do it without your help. With your help, we can change lives, we can save lives, and we can pull people out of poverty, by sending children, and others to school. My wish is that some day soon, poverty will be a thing, of the past, and we will no longer be needed, but until then please help, by visiting our website, and making a one time, or recurring monthly donation. Thank you for helping HVWCA, to reach out to those in need. www.hvwca.org
