Maranatha International Orphanage Center is a non-profit Christian Organization that concentrates on orphans and less privileged children in Africa regardless of race, religion, age or ethnic background. Maranatha International Orphanage Center (MAIOC) was conceptualized when the President of the organization realized her dreams of being able to support children who are socially alienated as a result of losing their parents to AIDS, malaria or other diseases. Most of these children are expelled from their households because other family members deem them unclean and contagious. This was a common practice in the communities where she lived and worked in her home country of Ghana, West Africa. Many members of the external families are usually not financially capable of taking care of these children. For socially displaced infants with no moral support, life becomes too challenging at such an early stage. Currently, there are over 10,000 orphans and or homeless children and youth in Ghana alone.
This is the reason why the President who has dealt with these situations is now lending a hand to the many children back in her home country whose fate can be changed through organizations such as MAIOC. Now living in the United States of America, is using MAIOC as a way to help children in such predicament.
