Offered twice yearly — April through June and October through December.

Pillar 05 / Sibling Support

Sibling Support Initiatives

Emotional and holistic support for the brothers and sisters of children with medical challenges — the ones who quietly carry the weight too.

Pillar 08 / Education

Culturally Responsive Education

Scholarships, school supplies, tutoring, vocational training, and mentorship — programmes that meet families where they are, in their language, in their context.

Pillar 09 / Prayer

Prayer Volunteer Network

An intercessory prayer network lifting up the mission, the families we serve, and the children in our circles. Open to everyone, in any city, in any tradition.
