Money raised during ACW will fund Window of Hope, a sustainable care home for abandoned and orphaned children with disabilities. Donations will help provide in-home schooling, healthcare, recreational activities and more. ECI has a 100% donation policy meaning all proceeds fundraised during ACW will go to fund the needs of the children under ECI’s care. #studentsforafghanistan
