Objectives

As a small international development charity we work with local partners in areas affected by conflict to help some of the most disadvantaged refugees and displaced people to rebuild their lives by providing them with training, skills and resources so they can support themselves and their families. Currently we are working in Uganda, South Sudan, Jordan and Tanzania.

Activities

We focus on small scale projects which we commit to over a number of years so that the people we help develop the financial security to become self-sustaining and are able to prosper independently. We provide resources and capacity building to local partners, and together we aim to achieve social and economic development, building resilient communities so that people are able to live peacefully in the place they call home. We have a team of five staff, with most of our funding going to benefit those in need overseas. Our size enables close relationships with many of our loyal supporters, but we also have a broad and diverse fundraising base.
