Adopt a Village

Adopt a Village initiates and supports community development for marginalized children and their families by meeting their basic human needs. Adopt a Village began with the goal of helping Sri Lankan tsunami victims with long-term relief and rebuilding efforts. The campaign has since evolved into an effective tool for helping communities in need. The program delivers holistic community development to children and their families in Kenya, Sierra Leone, rural China, and Sri Lanka. Supported by the Oprah’s Angel Network, and people like you, Adopt a Village services rural areas, with an emphasis on providing education to children where there is a high incidence of child poverty and child labour.

Through this new and ongoing campaign you can buy important resources for a family in need, help a mother support her children, and build a future for a smiling child. Working with Free The Children, you can help provide impoverished families with access to:

- Education: New schools, outfitted classrooms, learning materials, teacher training
  and salary-supported teachers
- Alternative Income: Income generating resources such as milking animals
  and sewing machines
- Health Care: Essential health care services such as health clinics and medical
  supplies
- Water and Sanitation: New wells and sanitation systems
