What we do

Our work is focused around seven main solution strategies:

  1. Transforming children through education  We help children to catch up on their schooling and equip them for the future. In Uganda we re-educate marginalised girls, train teachers and engage community mentors to develop parenting skills. Read more.
  2. Keeping children safe  We protect children in Central America from violent, abusive situations in their homes and on the streets and advocate for change. Read more.
  3. Making child trafficking history  We provide homework clubs, assist women’s businesses and spread the anti-exploitation message – all to make children and parents in Asia less vulnerable to trafficking recruiters. Read more.
  4. Resettling children into families  We resettle abandoned children in Uganda into loving families, and provide these families with counselling, income-generating advice and practical support. Read more.
  5. Unlocking the potential of girls  We train and support churches in India to challenge gender discrimination, report abuse and raise girls’ self-esteem. Read more.
  6. Protecting children in emergencies  We give practical relief and psychosocial support for families following disaster and conflict, train community leaders and set up child-friendly spaces. Read more.
  7. Helping young people thrive  We catalyse a collaborative response from local churches and other providers in Oxford, UK to the complex needs of young people in order to increase their self-esteem and resilience. Read more.
