Your donation, their future
Every penny donated is directly distributed to individuals known to us, or those we source. Our trustees in Uk and ground workers provide immediate support, covering essential needs like regular rent contributions, medical support, school fees, extra studies, and household essentials such as clothing, lunch boxes, and school bags. Your contribution, no matter how small, makes a monumental difference in providing stability and opportunity.
Directly transforming lives
Father Colin Battell and the late Gill Ellis established a funding stream built on personal connections and trust. Fr. Colin continues this legacy, ensuring funds received from personal donors in the UK, wills, and even his own pension, are directly channelled to families. This small-scale, personalised support makes a huge impact, providing extra education, learning materials, basic household essentials, and rent support. It’s a direct legacy of commitment.
Other ways to help
Beyond financial contributions, we warmly welcome new volunteers to support our fundraising efforts. Your time and dedication can help continue Father Colin’s incredible work, spanning over 40 years, and still going strong at 82 years old. Join us in preserving and growing this vital legacy.
