Many of these children are homeless, living in slum areas, orphaned, and marginalised by society. Their needs are huge. Without intervention, many would simply not survive.
But we’re not stopping at survival. We’re helping them to thrive – particularly in the areas where we have been able to help meet educational needs.
Over the years, thousands of children’s and young people’s lives have been transformed through this work, building stronger, brighter futures. However, the need remains overwhelming - and we’re constantly faced with more children than we currently have the resources to support.
With your help, we can reach even more.
