Each year, we are privileged to welcome children into our care who urgently need support and deserve the chance of a life-changing education. In September, we opened our doors to 40 new children at our Abdi Academy in Ethiopia.

When we came across many children living in desperate poverty in a town close to the Sudanese border in 2010, opening a care centre was the best way we could help at the time, by clothing them, feeding them and providing a basic education. But very soon, the building we were renting for the centre was bursting at the seams.
Many children in Colombia face neglect, trauma and hopelessness in their home lives. Our Emmanuel Care Centre is providing children with the daily support, food, education and counselling they need to overcome such challenges.
We want every child to have a healthy childhood. But being born into poverty in Kenya means that many can’t afford to access basic healthcare which puts children's lives at risk. This was the case for 10-year-old Kimberly who began experiencing pain while swallowing food due to the inflammation of her tonsils.
