We believe in a world where we build on the core strengths of children, their families, and communities, to create dignity, long term assets, and justice for all. We are dedicated to improving the well-being of children and youth through: -Child Protection -Education for life -Health Care -Church Empowerment -Child and Youth Engagement -Women Empowerment Our Statement of faith: We believe that any work is an opportunity to serve GOD.

Whilst we are motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ, we indiscriminately serve people of all faiths and none.
