Gladney and Gladney families are very proud of our humanitarian aid projects. We believe humanitarian projects illustrate the philosophies, care and concern of an organization, its adoptive families, and staff. Gladney and Gladney families feel a strong sense of responsibility to the children that will never be adopted and want in some small way, to make their lives better. In keeping with our mission as a social service agency we have developed humanitarian aid programs.

Ethiopia:

In the entire world, there is but one priceless commodity that ensures the world's future . . . children. Gladney feels it is important to promote the well being of Ethiopian children and to make their lives better in the process, therefore have undertaken the following aid projects:

• Funded the Ethiopian Books for Children and Educational Foundation, in their quest to improve literacy and create a culture of reading among the children of Ethiopia.
• Funded the annual salaries of four orphanage caregivers in one of the government-run orphanages.
• Provided two new washing machines for one of the orphanages.
• Purchased a DVD player along with several childrens’ DVD titles and delivered to one of the orphanages.
• Providing soccer balls for the children in the orphanages.
• Provided pediatric scales for one of the orphanages.
• Provided new clothing and shoes for the orphans.
• Gladney, along with the help of Cook Fort Worth Children’s Medical Center sent seven infant warmers, three incubators, and two defibrillators to several health care facilities in Ethiopia.
• Gladney is committed to helping medically fragile children. Please read more about our latest angel, Hennock. Hennock's Blog.
• Gladney recently received a letter of thanks from the Ministry of Women's Affairs in Ethiopia for Gladney's financial contribution to the recent flood victims in Ethiopia. Read the letter.
