You can help us
You can help us in our goal by making a donation or sponsoring one of our children. Our biggest hindrance has been funding. We need your support to help these children complete their education or skills training. It would also help us to reach out to the thousands of disadvantaged children/youth still on the streets. The easiest way to make a donation is by making a secure online donation using the 'Donate' button on this page.

Poverty
Poverty, Poverty, Poverty! From almost everybody I hear the word poverty! At home, at the borehole and even at school. My parents, brothers and sisters are we really poor? No we are not poor; what is it that we want to do that we cannot do. My dear parents, do not welcome poverty into your homes; For if you welcome poverty in your homes, It will surely get into your bedrooms. And you will be poor for life. So let us work hard to kick poverty out of our world. We can do this through giving education to our children.
