What we’re about
Empowering compassion. Since 1993 we’ve been empowering locally-led, mercy-based programs in the developing world.
Who we help
We serve orphans, child labor victims and young trafficking survivors through 9 residential care homes and 17 education centers in Asia, Africa, and South America.
Why we’re different
Rather than spending precious resources deploying Western workers, we’re empowering existing local leadership with funding, oversight, and small business development.
