OUR STORIES
The transformative work of the Delano King Foundation is best illustrated through our stories of aid to orphaned, disabled, abandoned, and less fortunate children and families in Liberia.
Resilience And Hope
Steven's story is a moving testament to resilience and hope. Born into a struggling family in Liberia, Steven has been fighting a mysterious illness his entire life. When he was just six months old, his mother noticed a rash on his hands and feet, which was initially thought to be a common condition among African infants.
Nothing But Jesus
Delano King, the founder and CEO of the Delano King Foundation, delivered a message of hope in the notorious ghettos of Liberia. He tirelessly works to uplift the lives of the most vulnerable, including drug-addicted youth and former child soldiers. His mission goes beyond providing temporary relief; he focuses on long-term empowerment and the transformation of individuals and communities.
Hope for Liberia’s Most Vulnerable
In the heart of Liberia, where the echoes of hardship often overshadow the whispers of hope, the Delano King Foundation emerges as a herald of compassion and care. This noble organization has taken a remarkable initiative to distribute food and essential items to the poor widows and the elderly, who are among the most vulnerable members of society.
From Tragedy to Triumph
Tetee' story is a powerful testament to resilience and hope. During the devastating Ebola outbreak in Liberia, a 12-year-old Tetee witnessed the virus claim the lives of her mother and 15 other relatives. She became the first recipient of The Delano King Foundation Africa Orphaned Scholarship. Tetee graduated from high school in November 2022 and is now thriving, deeply grateful for the opportunity to pursue her dreams.
Sackie’s Journey to Healing
In the heart of Liberia’s Gbarnga, amidst the struggles of the Kampala Ghetto, lived Sackie, a 39-year-old man whose life had been marred by addiction and the scars of being a child soldier. For over two decades, Sackie endured a debilitating medical condition that left him in constant agony, his body battling an infection that threatened his very existence.
Triumph Over Darkness
Marthalyn’s story is one of resilience and hope. Despite being visually impaired from a young age, Marthalyn has not let her disability define her limits. At the age of 12, she faced a life-altering challenge when she lost her sight due to an unfortunate incident involving caustic ingestion. This tragedy was compounded when her father left the family, unable to cope with the hardship.
A Beacon of Hope For The Disabled
In a place where the holiday cheer is a distant dream for some, the Delano King Foundation ensured that the spirit of Christmas was alive and well. We reached out to people living with disabilities and families facing food insecurity, sharing with them not only the sustenance to nourish their bodies but also the Good News of Jesus Christ to nourish their souls.
A Ray of Hope in Paynesville’s Ghettos
Amidst the challenges of the King Gray and Zimbabwe Ghettos in Paynesville, Liberia, the Delano King Foundation has emerged as a pillar of hope and transformation. Through the 2021 Operation Christmas, the foundation has made significant strides in restoring hope to the disadvantaged youth living in cemeteries and those living in conditions unfit for dwelling.
