How this gift helps
Families living in remote villages in Timor-Leste struggle to access enough food to feed their children. After her husband died, Joseta moved into a home with her children and her mother, and three other families. Poverty and a lack of nutritious food had been detrimental to the health of the family, particularly to Joseta’s youngest child Graciano. Joseta says, “The biggest challenge for me is there is no food to feed my children.” Your gift today will help provide nutritious food that children and families might otherwise go without. This is an extremely important need. Every gift will make a difference!

One of the biggest barriers to addressing the abuse and exploitation of children is a lack of trained and equipped frontline workers able to provide essential medical, legal and psychosocial support to children and their families. By investing in social services, you are investing in the development of a protective community environment who will be able to respond to the needs of children in a sustainable way.
In times of crisis and disaster, children are the most vulnerable and are at risk of exploitation, hunger and disease.
