Aid Children's Health & Education in 5 Countries

After responding to the pandemic, the Ukrainian refugee crisis and now the cost-of-living crisis, we want to express so much gratitude to each person who has continued to support the children and young people at our projects, over the past few years. Life has been challenging for people around the world and we are so thankful to you for caring about the children.

Here are some recent projects that your donations through GlobalGiving have been supporting:

Food for children in South Africa

The Future Factory in South Africa has been involved in supporting food programmes, supplying hot meals to children and families around Cape Town, since the first lockdown in South Africa. With the rising prices of food, the need for this programme continues. Thank you for helping these children with this most vital and basic need.

Anne, the founder of The Future Factory, wrote: "You help our feeding programmes once again in a big way... Lots of gratitude to CHW for all your love and support."

Winter boots and coats for children and teenagers in Romania

Refugiu, in Romania, assists families living in a village with food throughout the year. Winters in Romania can be very harsh and Refugiu wanted to be able to give warm coats and boots to fifteen children and teenagers from the village. We are very grateful to CHW's supporters for making this possible!

Robert, the Head of Refugiu, sent a message to say that the children were so happy to receive the coats and boots. He also said "many thanks to [CHW's] supporters!"

Repairing a roof for a school in Ghana

New Life in Ghana assists children and youth in the local community in a variety of ways and it also runs a primary school, making sure that the children have an education. There were heavy rains and the school's roof was damaged. Repairs were needed to stop rain water leaking into the classrooms. With thanks to the generosity of CHW's supporters, it was possible to repair the roof!

Rising prices in Ghana meant that we had to raise more than we had originally planned. It took us a while to fundraise for this project and in the meantime, the building materials had become more expensive. However, it was thanks to the help of those of you who had donated through this page on GlobalGiving, that it was possible to fund everything that was needed to fix the roof!

Derrick, the director of New Life wrote: "We thank CHW and supporters to have helped us fix the leaking roof. No leakages, safe learning."

At CHW, we are so truly grateful to you for making it possible to support the children and young people at projects like these. You are the ones who make it all possible!

We wish you a happy and peaceful festive season and all the very best for 2023! Thank you for making a difference for children and youth in 2022!
