A child pulled out of school over an unpaid fee rarely goes back. We cover fees, uniforms, books and stationery for children whose families cannot carry the cost, and fund scholarships that carry the strongest students through college. We also run adult literacy circles for mothers who never got the chance.
Support this programFor a family living day to day, a serious illness is financially catastrophic. We hold free medical camps in underserved areas, subsidise treatment and surgeries, fund diagnostics, and supply medicines for chronic patients who would otherwise stop taking them.
Support this programOur monthly ration hampers cover flour, rice, pulses, oil, tea and other essentials — enough to take the pressure off a household for a month. Alongside that we serve hot meals in underserved neighbourhoods and run larger food drives around Ramadan and winter.
Support this programIn many of the areas we work in, the nearest safe water is still a long walk away, and the burden falls on women and children. We install hand pumps, filtration units and shared water points, and we maintain them afterwards rather than walking away once the photo is taken.
Support this programOrphaned children receive a monthly stipend along with schooling and healthcare, so their education is not interrupted by the loss. For widowed mothers we run skills training and small start-up support, so the household can eventually stand on its own income.
Support this programWhen floods, earthquakes or a harsh winter hit, the first seventy-two hours decide a great deal. We keep an emergency reserve so our teams can move immediately with shelter, blankets, clean water and emergency food while longer-term relief is organised.
Support this programA month of rations, a term of school fees, a course of medicine — small, steady giving is what keeps our programs running.
