Estes Park United Methodist Church is teaming up with church members and the Estes Valley community to raise money this holiday season to help AIDS orphans in Africa.

The project helps build homes for relatives raising children whose parents have died of AIDS.

Each house costs only $3,000. Last year, EPUMC raised enough money to build five houses! This year, the church felt called to embrace the project again.

These “Grandma Houses” as they are called provide stability for impoverished, marginalized, and stigmatized needy, desperate, and deserving families in Kenya.

EPUMC is also raising money for scholarships for the young orphans so they can receive the education need to help them get out of poverty.

For more information about how you can get involved in this life-changing project, email Pastor Ann Lantz at pastor@epumc.org or call EPUMC at (970) 586-4153. (Photo courtesy EPUMC)
