Our International Projects
We run projects around the world wherever vulnerable children need us. Below you can see some of our international projects that are helping change children’s lives across the globe.
Sponsoring An Orphan
£1 may not stretch very far here in the UK however from as little as £1 a day, you can transform the life of an orphaned or abandoned child, giving them the love and support they need.
Every 18 seconds a child becomes an orphan in the world, as you can imagine, this brings with it uncertainty, turmoil and confusion. The UN estimates that there are over 150 Million children living on the streets, a shocking figure in such advanced times. Conflict, diseases such as AIDS, natural disasters, and other factors all contribute to this huge figure. At Street Orphans we are working to reduce this figure every day, however we can’t do this alone and need your support to keep our mission going!
Where they live
- 43.4m live in sub-Saharan Africa
- 87.6m in Asia
- 12.4m in Latin America and the Caribbean
- 1.5m in Central and Eastern Europe
Street children are more susceptible to economic hardship, withdrawal from school, psychological distress, physical or sexual abuse, malnutrition, and exploitation. And at Street Orphans we are continuously battling against these tragedies to provide a safe and secure future for children in our care.
With Your Support We Can Make A Difference
By sponsoring an orphan you are the difference between a life of hope and a life of fear. You are the difference between a child sleeping rough, out in the cold or under a secure roof, tucked in a warm bed.
You can have a positive impact on a child’s life by providing a family home, food, education and health care for the long-term.
As an orphan sponsor:
- You will receive a welcome pack, written updates, and photos to keep you informed of your child’s progress, showing you the positive impact your donation is having on the child.
- You can visit or write to your sponsored street orphan in their village, allowing you to form a deeper connection and a bond with a child that has been deprived of love and security.
- You can provide additional gifts for birthdays and special occasions by adding money to a savings account, this is a rare treat for children who have been on the streets most of their life.
With your support, we can make life better for children around the world. Sponsor an orphan today and change a life forever.
