Project Spotlight:
Education Program
We believe that Education for every child is the key to a better World. We want to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for every child and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all the communities that we support. We want to see remote learning rolled out in all war zones and developing countries and strongly believe in using technology to enhance and improve education at all levels.
Help us make a lasting impact on a war orphan’s life and sponsor a child’s education today. As little as £7.50 a month can help one child to go to school.
Striving to End Human Rights Violations
We are committed to ending sexual violence in war zones and nurturing women and children who are affected by the ongoing conflict in the Congo. We provide grants to grassroots projects that support war orphans and other individuals affected by war, rape and sexual violence. The organisations that we support provide invaluable victim survivor programs to victims of war including healthcare, education, shelter, food and socio-economic support.

Project spotlight:
Water & Sanitation Program
Water is a basic human right for every human being and critical to health & hygiene for the war orphans that we support. We are proud to have installed the first tap of fresh running water at the orphanage that we support, which provides crucial help with hygiene and sanitation.
Help us to install a tap in the orphanage’s kitchen, a shower and a toilet. These facilities will guarantee better sanitation facilities and that the children are eating clean food.
“I used to have to go to school every day without being able to wash my face and brush my teeth. Since we have a tap with running water, I can wash every morning before going to school and I feel a lot cleaner and happier.”
Stories of courage & resilience
With your ongoing help we can rewrite countless stories that build and heal individuals and communities.
Abigael
8-year old Abigael now dreams of becoming a business woman. 3-years ago, a member of our field team found her alone and orphaned, far away from her village. She had seen things little girls and boys should never have to see. With big hearts and dedicated teachers the orphanage became her home. A shelter, a place of safety and healing. For Abigail, and many other children who have stories like hers, finding protection, education and hope means she can now dream of things that will not only change her destiny, but the path of others around her. One little step forward changes each life that meets its path.
Imoa
During an attack by ADF Nalu rebels from Uganda in the territory of Beni in DR Congo, Imao's Father was one of the victims massacred in the village of Kamango. Imoa's Mother became sick and extremely poor, decided to send Imoa to our orphanage in Goma for her care and protection, away from the instability of their community. Today, Imoa like many other kids, is benefiting from the orphanage’s care. She dreams of becoming a teacher.
Gloria
Gloria comes from a small community in a village near Virunga Park in North-Kivu. A few years ago, an attack between the park's Rangers and Poachers occurred. While travelling along one of the park’s roads, Gloria's parents were accidentally shot dead. Through the help of Gloria's Aunt, who could not support her due to poverty, Gloria was brought to our orphanage for care. Today, Gloria has big dreams for her education and hopes to become a nurse.
Zawadi
Zawadi is from North-Kivu in the DR Congo. Zawadi lost both her parents when she was 2-years old. The incident happened while her parents were out farming. Her father was shot dead. Meanwhile her Mother was victim of a bomb strike. Volunteers from the Red Cross found Zawadi and looked for someone to help her.
