Its hard to believe we are at the close of yet another year. 2018 was filled with so much growth within our children and communities, but also for Marked. 2018 has been yet again another monumental year for us, we are pleased to inform you that because of you, our generous partners, this has once again proved to be our most successful year to date.
With your support both financially and of your time, we have accomplished so much to improve the lives of thousands of children and adults in our network.
Here is a brief summary of what we have accomplished TOGETHER this year.
This year, we reached nearly 16,000 children through our programs, not including their parents and grandparents alike. With that, we served over 200,000 meals nearly 17,000 kilos of that being protein. We distributed over 38,000 articles of clothing through our Marked store and saw 2,460 children enrolled in school through our school partnership program.
We also expanded into new buildings this year. Receiving the Marked Community center, from the local government, not only increased the amount of people we can now reach but also, has given us access to a new community. It gave us our own soccer field, which has now seen over 120 of the hardest cases running up and down the field.
Hundreds of medical and dental cases have been resolved, and over 20 children have been rescued just this year alone.
We cannot thank you enough for the love you have poured out and the lives you have changed because of your generosity. We cannot wait to see what 2019 brings.
So here is to a new year, new growth and abundance. For every seed you plant, may you see an abundant harvest.
