2024 has come to a close, and another hugely successful year filled with changing lives is in the books because YOU made an impact through your giving! This 2024 Year End Review is not just another report. Instead, it is a testimony of the thousands of individuals and families that have experienced real life transformation through sponsorship and the other HELPS programs because you gave in 2024 – thank you! I am overwhelmed with gratitude to you for the blessings you provided last year and all of us here at Little Children of the World, Inc. would like to wish you a blessed Happy New Year!

Please join us in rejoicing for ending 2024 with all budgets met with a surplus already able to be applied to the beginning of 2025 budgets! We thank God for provision through all your sacrificial gifts and starting this year off strong with a continued fervor for the mission at hand. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support and your prayers.

I hope you will join me with excitement in welcoming our new President and CEO, Brittany Foster. She is not new to LCW but has stepped up to the helm to lead LCW into the future. She writes, “LCW’s mission means so much to me. I have witnessed the impact of the ministry for years now, and I am blessed to be chosen to carry the torch from all the leaders before me. It is truly an honor and a privilege for the board to promote me to be LCW’s next President. Thank you for making 2024 so successful to pave the way for my new appointment this year. It is my prayer to keep God at the center of everything we do and to see more lives changed in 2025, and beyond!” Brittany and I are working closely together throughout the transition of presidential duties in 2025, and I will continue to support the mission, even after retirement.

As we enter LCW’s 38th year of service, we hope that you will continue to join us in our efforts to break the cycle of poverty by lending a helping hand to children in need. Thank you so much for making 2024 a productive year with many success stories detailed throughout this report, the 2024 Year End Review. We wish you all the best as we enter a new year, and we look forward with anticipation for all the good things 2025 will hold.

With Gratitude,

Glenna Houk Waller
LCW President and CEO
