The Andrew Project Story
When Kerr and Jill Taylor adopted their daughter from a Russian orphanage in 1998, they noticed another child waiting for adoption named Andrew.
The Taylors returned home, but couldn’t stop wondering what happened to the young boy with bright blue eyes. Sadly, they knew his chances of adoption were likely slim.
As Christians, the Taylors felt a strong conviction to answer God’s call to care for the vulnerable and orphaned. With Andrew on their hearts, they founded Pathways for Little Feet in 2008 to ease the financial burden of adoption and foster care.
In 2016, Pathways partnered with Lifesong to launch ‘The Andrew Project’ to give orphaned children in Ukraine the opportunity to access holistic care, gain tangible skills and sustainable job opportunities, and know the enduring love of Christ.
Thanks to generous donors, Pathways has supplied capital for the land for a working farm and purchased a delivery truck to take produce to markets. Your support makes it possible for children like Andrew to grow up knowing they are capable, seen, and loved.
250 children enter the orphanage system daily in Ukraine.
With the ongoing war in Ukraine, that number is now even higher—with countless more children living in poverty on the streets.
