Hello friends
We wanted to share an update from our Ignite program, keeping children safe and supported in one of the most challenging communities. This project was set up by the mama’s of the community, and their dedication has been nothing short of inspiring.
Because of safety concerns, our team often has to coordinate from a distance, supporting the children and community through video calls. Even so, the mama’s have been making waves—gang members in the area are starting to work with and respect our team. As a result, the 150 children who attend our programs are staying safe and out of gang recruitment.
After school, many children would otherwise sit on the streets, vulnerable to gang influence. Our initiatives—the feeding program, homework club, cricket, football, dance, and outdoor movie nights—give them a safe space, a chance to learn, play, and just be kids. These programs are currently fully funded by supporters like you while we build long-term partnerships with local shops and businesses to make the program sustainable.
Your support is directly keeping these children safe and giving them a chance for a brighter future. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.
