Some children we encounter have lost one or both parents. Others live with grandparents, older siblings, relatives, or caregivers who are themselves facing significant hardship.
Our approach is centred on the child while strengthening the family and caregiver around them. We believe children deserve safety, belonging, education, care, and the opportunity to grow in a stable environment.
Support may include school assistance, food support during difficult periods, psychosocial support, essential items, mentorship, household visits, and appropriate referrals.
Where a child may be at risk, we work with relevant local structures, caregivers, churches, and appropriate authorities to promote their safety and wellbeing.
Child sponsorship, caregiver support, gifts in kind, and long-term partnerships can help us extend this work to more vulnerable children.
