Create Your Legacy of Love with Abandoned Children’s Fund!

The easiest way to get started on the path towards creating your own Legacy of Love is by naming Abandoned Children’s Fund as a beneficiary to your will. However, there are many different ways for you to create a Legacy here on earth, including options that can create tax benefits for you and your heirs!

Through Legacies of Love with Abandoned Children’s Fund YOU can help abandoned children:

  • Found in the garbage dumps in the Philippines be rescued and cared for and fed.
  • Provide thousands of children in Haiti who would go hungry with a nutritious meal five times a week.
  • Be rescued from wandering on the dangerous city streets of Kampala Uganda and taken in to be nourished, loved and educated.
