Charitable Support Provided in 2019
Myanmar
Adonai Child Rehabilitation
Established in 2015, this heart-centered orphanage is home for 5 girls and 4 boys. The Andreas Moritz Light Trust provided a grant to rebuild the deteriorating bamboo structure, using sturdy metal framing, including for the exterior walls.
Additionally, this project supported the construction of a latrine and bathing facilities, with appropriate privacy for the boys and the girls. In order to ensure adequate and safe water for drinking and bathing, the grant also included drilling a modern water well.
Tanzania
The Baobab Home
Installation of a desperately-needed rainwater collection system was completed in 2019, a project that commenced in 2018.
The Baobab Home is a small, family-run orphanage located in an area of Tanzania where heavy seasonal rains can be captured to supplement the scarce supply of ground water, providing needed support to the children during months of annual drought.
Viet Nam
Orphanages in Danang & Plei Rowak
Charitable grants have been provided to two orphanages in Viet Nam for the installation of clean drinking water filtration systems.
SOS Village for Children orphanage, in Danang, is a large complex that accommodates approximately 240 children. The Mai Am Rowak orphanage, located in a much more remote area, Plei Rowak, currently cares for 43 children in need.
Charitable Donations
Your contribution will give children without parents opportunities for a brighter future. We want you to know that we are very conscientious about keeping administrative costs to an absolute minimum. In fact, over 99% of the charitable donations received are directed toward projects supporting the children.
All charitable donors (individuals, groups, companies and organizations) will receive a receipt from the Andreas Moritz Light Trust, a non-profit foundation with 501(c)(3) designation in the USA, that a bona fide tax-deductible charitable donation has been made in the USA and, therefore, can be applied to one’s tax return in the USA (acknowledged by the Internal Revenue Service as a legitimate charitable deduction).
Since we are not aware of the specific rules or policies that apply to tax-deductible charitable contributions in other countries (outside of the USA), we recommend that you please consult with your tax advisor or accountant for insight into this for the country in which you live.
