In 2000, Leanna Brewer traveled with her husband, Troy, to Uganda, East Africa.
There, she met 10-year-old Colin, who took them by the hand and led them to his “home” in the alley.
Leanna had heard about the countless children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic and decades of war that ravaged countries around the world. “When Colin showed me the pallet in the alley where he lived and told me through tears that he was hungry, it made the orphan crisis real. In that moment I knew I had to do something. Meeting Collin made the crisis real,” Leanna said.
She determined to do something – and SPARK Worldwide was born.
Those who have joined in the mission have discovered that, together, we can Serve, Protect, And Raise Kids around the world.
