While we are grateful for another successful Children’s Rally, this video emphasizes how much more help is needed in the region. Watch young women and girls raise their hands as Reverend Nelly asks how many want to go to school. Consider that at this Rally alone, more than 850 children attended. Unfortunately, Hope for the […]
While we were celebrating Thanksgiving in the United States, more than 850 children were giving thanks for an incredible Children’s Rally.

As we continue to celebrate our new IRS designation a tax-exempt charitable organization, we are looking back on how it all began. In 2009, Reverend Nelly and her husband took two girls into their home, and enrolled them into school. This selfless act soon blossomed into the WADADA Project, supporting more than 60 girls and […]

We couldn’t help but share this video – it is a perfect example of how the Wadada Children’s House creates true leaders. Here Jackline, under the supervision of Children’s Ministry Leader Mary, teaches dozens of students at the Children’s Rally. Traditionally, children in these regions were seen as less than cattle. Spending resources on encouraging […]
