Acacia Village

Christian World Adoption has a sister organization called Christian World Foundation. They have a rather ambitious project underway in Ethiopia called Acacia Village. Their website is at http://www.acaciavillage.org/index.htm. The Acacia Village video is worth a look. This project will provide housing for orphans, healthcare, classrooms, housing for traveling families, and crisis pregnancy counseling. We love the concept of this ministry effort, and I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the site one day on our trip. The pictures below are from the site. They have a long way to go, but it is a worthy effort in our opinion.


This is the first of the major buildings that is planned. The foundation is largely complete and they were working on the vertical columns when I was there. Men and women worked together on the construction crew.

This shows the scenery around the Acacia Village property. I thought it was a beautiful place with the trees and rolling hills.
