Dandong

This is our latest sponsorship program in the city of Dandong, Liaoning Province. GAP currently cares for 18 children, age ranging from 2 to 23 years old. These children have either been abandoned or they are physically and/or mentally handicapped orphans. A number of them requires special treatment for their deformities. GAP is a private "foster home" and is not funded by any NGO or government department.

It is the sincere desire of GAP to bring hope and confidence to children in disadvantaged situation, the Home builds up the confidence of these children to say they have a role and a future in the society; we want to help them to realize their full potential. The Home provides basic need for a child, teach the youth a life skill and provide opportunities to help these young people to live a full life. The Home supervisor believes each child needs a large dosage of TLC (tender loving care)

Come meet some of the children, say yes to sponsor a child in need, to give them an opportunity to have a future.

The Happy Family of GAP Home in Dandong


The children are well cared for by loving care-takers, but they need more helpers, if you are interested to commit some time in this children home as a volunteer, we welcome you to contact us. The older children are taught to make bread, jam, biscuits in GAP kitchen, Minders would teach them how to handle money through a “shop” within the Home; neighbours and friends would come to purchase from the little “bakery shop”, this exercise is to build up their confidence, being appreciated, to say they can do it. Please help these children, by committing to sponsor them, your regular giving could mean a wonderful chance to some ones who have never been loved, who thought they never have a future, who need medical care. We really love our children for they are so special. Join us to show you care.
