Our approach is better than short-term charity. In partnership with governments, NGOs and other relief organizations, we build effective support systems with lasting impacts for struggling families. These efforts enable access to education, healthcare services and employment opportunities that are essential to maintaining safe environments for children at risk. Our long-term services-which focus on making families self-reliant-include savings and loan associations, income-generating activities, child rearing classes, health education, emergency response and much more.
