Why not canned goods, toys and clothes?
• Its tough to feed 100 kids with canned goods • Hard to get across the border (everything is!) • Churches typically give toys and clothes so that orphanages have clothes but no food • CDV never gives money directly to anyone. We pay the bills for the orphanages directly to the vendor (e.g. Costco). CDV provides assistance for clean water, nutritious food and helps keep the utilities on. • Dont let a nice looking orphanage fool you! Clean buildings and a lot of land does not mean that they eat well and that their electricity doesnt get cut off. It means church groups come in the summer and build. Nice home hungry kids.
