Looking back on rescuing and raising kids in 2017-18

Thursday, 07 February 2019

We're really excited to share with you our latest Annual Report which highlights just nine stories of our impact and key achievements.

In the report, Ahmad, our Director, remembers his favourite moment seeing our first students get a place at university in Ethiopia: “Hearing their hopes and looking at their proud faces, I was humbled as I remembered the same faces 11 years ago when we opened the school. Back then, they could not read or write and were malnourished... The idea of attending university was not even a dream, it was beyond their imagination.”

Safety and hope for the most vulnerable

Rinu and Dev’s story began in the remote Khairang area of Nepal. After their mother abandoned them and losing their father to alcoholism, Rinu found herself caring for Dev alone, frightened and selling alcohol to get by. They were vulnerable, so we welcomed them into our care motivated to follow Jesus’ example to care for the most at risk in society.

Sena and her classmates head to high school

We are proud to be educating and caring for 440 children in Dembi Dollo and have been amazed at their development since the school opened six years ago. Our first ever class of Grade 8 students sat their national exams to determine whether they can progress to high school. A total of 22 students took the exam and wonderfully, every one of them passed!
