God’s desire is for each child to grow up in a safe, caring environment, blessed with an education where they can learn that they matter, they belong, and they have potential. Yet many children are left alone, vulnerable and trapped in poverty. We provide a sponsorship scheme to help others step in and care for vulnerable children, to be a family for them and to help them escape the suffering of poverty.
Sponsor a vulnerable child for £30 a month
