My Nonprofit Reviews

I recently participated in a fun, but very hot, 500-mile bike ride across Iowa (RAGBRAI) in support of ChildVoice who works with war-affected youth. The incredible heat and humidity index in Iowa was a constant reminder of the heat in Nigeria, Africa. We raised funds to support solar installment and fans in the classrooms. Not only was this a perfect fundraising opportunity for us, the reward was awesome to see the immediate impact on the lives of these traumatized youth. ChildVoice supported us every step of the way, as we biked, sagged, and fundraised for this important project.

I can think of only a handful of organizations that “put their money where their mouth is” and ChildVoice does just that. While the need is great (i.e., poverty, war, lack of community infrastructure), there seems to be nothing more UNJUST than children who are abducted & forced to be soldiers. ChildVoice is working where the need is greatest, where the work is hardest, where the emotions are most raw; but the rewards are great. Each young girl that enters the gate at the ChildVoice Centre is changed, not just rehabilitated, but loved into healing of body, mind and soul. What a privilege it has been to be a small part of this work!
