We support programmes that help turn the cycle of poverty into a circle of prosperity

All our programmes are based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and aim to fulfil the Millennium Development Goals.

A place to call home - Where a better life begins. Shelter and safety, along with love and nutrition, all nurture children so they can not only survive, but thrive.

A healthy start in life - Helping children get a good start, avert disease, survive illnesses and grow up stronger. Clean water, a place to go to the bathroom, and simply learning to wash hands, all help save lives.

A quality education - When children go to school and stay there, they get a huge step up in life. Plus, when children are learning they're much less vulnerable to the dangers of child labour or falling prey to exploitation.

A sustainable family income - When parents have a regular income, it means their children can go to school instead of to work. Helping mothers learn a skill or start a business can help break the cycle of poverty for them, their children, and for generations to come.
