Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

Every child has a right to grow up in a safe and playful environment with hope for a happy future. We create opportunities for children denied these rights. We have created seaside summer camps for children who have never seen the sea, built playgrounds in war-battered areas, sent educational laptops to schools in refugee camps, and stocked children's Libraries and classrooms.
