A special focus
Helping orphans and children with special needs.
Some children need care and support throughout their lives. Baal Dan helps trusted local organizations provide the essentials, accessibility and companionship that make each day safer and fuller.
Care without an age limit
A commitment that stays.
We have a special place in our hearts for orphans with special needs. Over the years, Baal Dan grants have supported wheelchairs, Braille books, accessible toilets and bathrooms, clothing, educational supplies and care.
Many of these children will need lifelong support rather than “aging out” of the programs, orphanages and centers that care for them. Our role is to help local caregivers meet practical needs while protecting each child's dignity, learning and belonging.
