Rev. David Ward and his wife Bonnie founded ReclaimKids in 2005 after spending over 20 years on the continent of Africa in various countries as missionaries. After retiring from being full time missionaries they began to focus on the need of the children in Sub-Sahara Africa where many of their friends and acquaintances had died of aids or civil war. Truly loving the African people they could not sit by and do nothing, their vision for these children has also became the motto of ReclaimKids,”Providing H.O.P.E. for Africa’s children (Housing, Opportunity, Protection, Education)” .

David served as both chairman of the board and president of ReclaimKids until Feb. 2014 when Clyde Fox was elected president and Rev. Ward maintained his position as chairman of the board. He has spearheaded projects in Uganda and Liberia and does extensive travel to promote ReclaimKids aided by his wife Bonnie who is also a member of the board
