By Rob Bollinger | Founder and President of Nehemiah's Restoration
The "18 by 18 Challenge" was our very first social media fundraising campaign focused not only on raising funds, but also growing our network, while continuing to raise awareness of orphaned children's plight when losing their parents due to HIV and AIDs. Each time someone participated in the challenge, they were asked to nominate friends of theirs who might not have even heard of Nehemiah's Restoration to participate as well. We were very excited to get to interact with new people in this way and to see NR's audience grow!
We also successfully developed over $6,000 in new funds! These funds will be used to start new support groups this year as they take in even more orphans by assisting the families within these groups in becoming self-sustaining in the years to come. Thank you for coming alongside us and this project!
