God’s love, transforming deepest need into thriving joy
Meeting critical needs of impoverished children, families, and communities by partnering alongside local Christian ministries.
(Fiscal Year 2024)
Before children can truly thrive, first they need the basic necessities of life like nutritious food, clean water, medical care, and shelter.
