Orphan Activities
Orphans are among the most pressing issues in countries in need of aid. Children who lose their mothers or fathers for various reasons are left alone. The poor state of national economies and indifference prevent these children from being protected, leaving orphans without guardians.
IBS, which always prioritizes the sensitivity shown by our national and spiritual values regarding orphans, works on orphan issues in impoverished countries.
Tanzania is a region where life expectancy is short due to malnutrition, epidemics, and diseases caused by contaminated drinking water. Fathers, in particular, die at a young age, resulting in children becoming orphans. In this sense, we can call Ethiopia a land of orphans.
The situation of orphans is even more critical because the region is among those where missionary activities are intensely carried out. The calm and innocent nature of the people is exploited for malicious purposes; children are taken into free care in orphanages established by missionaries, and the region is rapidly being Christianized. According to information we have received from local authorities and the local population, 100,000 orphaned children are kidnapped or disappear for various purposes annually in Tanzania.
Our work regarding orphans will continue to be our top priority, both domestically and internationally.
