$25 a month can save a "Mingi" child

Many innocent children are killed every year because of the “Mingi” practice. We try to save and give proper attention to as many children as possible, but the harsh reality is that without the support of donors, we will not be able to save or provide for additional children. We need your help in order to expand our homes, and provide more food, medical attention, education, and nurturing care. 

What is "Mingi?" 

Mingi is defined as the state of being impure or “ritually polluted” in certain African tribes, including the Kara and Hamar tribes of Southwest Ethiopia. In these tribes, a person, often a child, who is considered mingi is killed by being left alone in the desert or by being drowned in the Omo River. Reasons for being declared impure include birth out of wedlock, birth as a twin, the eruption of teeth in the upper jaw before the lower jaw, and chipping a tooth in childhood.
