Our Mission

We work to ensure the health and safety of vulnerable children, widows and caretakers in selected global locations.

• We are concerned about the survival of these endangered ones.
• Our efforts are usually "emergency" efforts.
• We rely on gifted North Americans and Europeans to share their resources in coming to the rescue of the little ones.

Who are the "little ones"

• Children, the first to get hurt when things go wrong, often the last to eat.
• Girls and women, who often suffer violence, don't make it to school, are overworked and undervalued.
• Anyone who has been left out, left behind.

Goals

• Little ones enjoying healthier, happier lives
• Community leaders working together for the common good
• Western partners eager to understand and assist
• Everyone involved growing through service

Principles

• Focus on survival. Don't diffuse resources.
• Before undertaking a project, be sure to have support of local leaders and larger community.
• Confer and work with partners. Try not to tell others what to do.
• Avoid duplicating efforts. When appropriate, collaborate with other agencies.
• Rely on local partners to speak of God's love in the local language and in culturally meaningful ways.
• Be accountable to our Western partners. Assure them that their gifts go directly toward the survival of the little ones.
