YEAR IN REVIEW

2014

“Building Christian families

according to God’s design

of adoption.”

awaa.org

This Annual Report is a testament to God’s grace on our agency’s work throughout 2014. As an agency, our staff faithfully

worked to help hundreds of children find permanent, Christian families. In addition, we organized dozens of mission trips, hu-

manitarian projects, and partnerships all of which supported our mission of “building Christian families according to God’s de-

sign of adoption”.

In 2014, our agency increased the number of adoptions from India and China compared to the previous year. In addition, we

completed our first placements from Kyrgyzstan and expect to see more adoptions from this country in the future. Also of note,

our missions department significantly increased the number of service trips we organized, and we successfully held our largest

fundraiser in our agency’s history.

We hit a few milestones in 2014 as well – our agency celebrated 20 years of service to children and families. We also sur-

passed 4,000 total adoptions for our agency since we began.

God’s faithfulness has been constant throughout our agency’s tenure. As we enter this next year and the next 20 years, we do

so with the confidence that: “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end” (Lamentations

3:22).

Thank you for taking the time to review this annual report. We look forward to partnering with you in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Brian Luwis, Founder & CEO

ETHIOPIA

America World partners with multiple orphanages in Ethiopia

and invests in humanitarian projects to advance the cause of

orphans. We are devoted to orphan care and know that chil-

dren need to be cared for in every stage of the process as

they wait to be placed with a forever family. We wish that all

children could be adopted but not everyone living in an insti-

tutional setting can be. America World cares greatly about

ensuring as many children as possible receive quality care

and are honored to be able to take part in this cause.

We commit to funding multiple orphanages which means

providing for:

nannies to be the hands and feet of the love and nurture

children need!

formula for infants for a year and food for older children!

clean drinking water for a year!

staff to gather clearances and adoption paperwork so

children can be adopted!

Medication and nurses and doctors!

cooks, cleaners, laundry, hygiene products, lotion and

more!

America World also runs a sponsorship program sponsoring

many families so that they can stay together despite financial

concerns. Our domestic program matched multiple children in

our Transition Home this year with families living in and from

Ethiopia. We also send mission teams to the orphanages who

have provided mattresses for 300 girls, blankets, a new bath-

room, and various other projects including holding and loving

on children in 2014!

America World Adoption is proud to be licensed and Hague/COA

accredited in 24 states, including our corporate office in Virginia,

2014 SOCIAL SERVICES

2014 MISSIONS TRIPS

Our teams traveled to five different countries and provided

donated specially fitted wheelchairs for handicapped chil-

dren in Haiti, new mattresses bought and private latrine

built for abandoned teenage girls in Ethiopia, enough

funds to get a critically needed medical clinic and school

started in a remote province of China and overall touched

the lives of hundreds of children all over the world. It’s

impossible to put into hard data how many hearts were

inspired and lives effected by the tremendous work of our

mission teams in 2014. We saw team members come

back to the U.S. feeling a heavy burden for orphan care

and being inspired to advocate for the adoption of Waiting

Children and sponsorship.

2014 DEVELOPMENT

On December 10th, 2014 we held our first annual Day of Hope Phone-a-Thon to kick off America World’s year-end fundraising

campaign. Our goal was to raise $120,000 to cover the cost of the rent for our 2 transition homes in Ethiopia, underwrite the

expenses for our Spring Welcoming Angels Hosting program for children from China, and support our post-adoption initiatives

designed to provide critical care and support to families and children post-adoption.

This year, thanks to the generosity of people like you, we raised $93,902 during the Day of Hope year-end fundraiser. In addi-

tion, we were blessed with a very generous matching grant in the amount of $60,000. We are pleased to announce that we

were able to exceed our goal for this year end campaign and raise $153,902 by December 31st.

Thank you for your commitment to America World!
