For every child who’s adopted, thousands still live in institutions or with families who can’t provide for their basic needs. WACAP is committed to helping as many of these children as we can. Since 1976, we’ve supplied vitamins, health care, medical supplies, toys, clothing and education to more than 200,000 children. We work with other organizations that are dedicated to children’s welfare. Currently, we support ongoing child assistance projects in eight countries: the United States, China, Romania, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea and India.

Reaching out to children orphaned by AIDS
We continue to look for opportunities to help children. And right now, some of the world’s neediest children are in sub-Saharan Africa, where HIV/AIDS has made orphans out of more than 13 million children. That number is expected to double by 2010. Currently, we’re exploring how we might help provide families for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Our work in Thailand supports some of that country's 250,000 AIDS orphans.

Here’s how you can help WACAP help children:

Donate money
You can give to support WACAP’s child assistance projects in one of two ways:

Donate supplies
We accept contributions of clothing, toys and other supplies. Each year, we send more than three tons of humanitarian aid to needy children and families around the world—and to save shipping costs, most of it is carried with WACAP staff members or adopting families when they travel to bring home their children.

Send donations of supplies to WACAP at 315 S. Second Street, Renton, WA 98057.
