Baby Aziza arrives at Children’s LightHouse

We are giving thanks for baby Aziza’s arrival at the Children’s LightHouse.

She and her grandmother will be staying with us while she prepares for lifesaving surgery.

We recently told you about the hunger crisis in Tajikistan and how Aziza was at great risk for dying from malnutrition. She was at especially high risk due to a birth defect with her colon.

She needs to have a surgery not available in Tajikistan to repair the defect and save her life.

We are so grateful that the Lord answered our prayers for Aziza. He brought her to us sooner than we had hoped and she is on the fast track toward surgery and full recovery.

Please join us in continuing to pray for Aziza’s health and adaptation to a new environment.

During the harshness of winter, many children in Tajikistan are still at high risk of starvation and malnutrition. But you can help. Spread the word and encourage others to give and pray.

aid distribution in Tajikistan

The ISOH/IMPACT shipment of food aid arrived in Tajikistan and has been delivered to the most vulnerable members of the communities we serve. In a recent conversation with us, USAID again stressed how severe this winter will be in Tajikistan. Experts are predicting an unusually cold winter for the country, and the people are already suffering from a critical food shortage. Your support for Tajikistan is needed more now than ever. Thank you for joining us in Reaching Out & Serving Others!
