We know that for most children, the best place for them to live is with their loving families but they need additional help to improve their quality of life. We work hard to support families to stay together, giving them dignity and allowing our children to benefit from a life-changing education.

FAQs

Yerazade’s grandmother sells pastries to help provide for her family, but when sales declined, she struggled to afford basics like food. Through our care centre in Colombia, Yerazade and her grandmother received a food pack containing necessities likes oil, flour, fruit and meat.

“Before I was given one of the food packs my grandmother had said she had to make more buns and candy to sell because she didn't have money to prepare dinner for that day. I really liked the food pack, I felt very happy. With the food, my grandmother made me fried chicken with potatoes several times, which is one of my favourite meals.”

Yerazade, aged 9, Colombia
