Your Gifts Delivered Hope!
Here are just a few ways donors like you delivered hope this year through your gifts of support:
- Provided life-saving food aid to Myanmar earthquake victims and conflict zones in Sudan, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ukraine.
- Ensured access to clean water for families in Bangladesh and Honduras.
- Expanded healthcare services in Northern Kenya, improving care for children and adults.
On my trips to oversee our programs, I am face-to-face with people who praise God for you and other Canadians who have come alongside them. Please hear their thanks from me.
Looking ahead to 2026, we anticipate a continued focus on hunger relief and support for communities affected by conflict and natural disasters. For example, in Yemen alone, 18.1 million people are expected to face major food insecurity, requiring emergency food support to survive. Also, recovery efforts from disasters like Hurricane Melissa will extend well into the new year as families rebuild their lives.
As a valued member of the ERDO family, I invite you to continue walking with us. A year-end gift today will help us respond immediately to urgent crises — and also sustain long-term development and child-focused programs which often go unseen but are deeply transformative.
Thank you again for being a beacon of hope. Your support is changing lives — and together, we are bringing light into the darkest places.
With heartfelt gratitude, and prayers for a blessed Christmas,
Daniel Lepojarvi, CEO
