What it Means to Carry Her Cross?
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about what it means to carry my cross... “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Mark 8:34 (NAS)
For Hajara, it means using her story to help the other children suffering from sexual abuse...
Our team members on the ground carry heavy loads every single day... Mark 15:21 (NAS)

Helping Kids Get Their Day in Court

We have helped:

A Mission for Clean Sanitation
“We couldn’t let mothers, children, the elderly, and the communities suffer when we could do something about the pit latrines.”
Access to sanitation is not just a luxury; it’s a fundamental human right...
Through mobilizing community members and leaders, we improved and renovated numerous pit latrines and installed eight new ones in high-need communities.
Together, we can ensure access to clean and safe sanitation becomes a reality for every mother and child.
