Our donors give children the drive to reach for their dreams

See the impact that can be made on so many lives when you don’t give up

We work with children who have overcome enormous obstacles, from missing school to trekking kilometres so they can collect dirty water, to being forced into child labour to help support their family. We see how they don’t give up, which is why we appreciate the video below.

It shows the tale of an Olympian who tore his hamstring in the middle of the race of his life. “When you don’t give up, you cannot fail,” notes the video’s subtitles, as the runner kept running.

At Children Believe, we work with children and families running a much different race. It’s our mission to help provide them with the basic necessities of life, so they can access an education and reach for their dreams.

Watch this video for inspiration on how one person’s support can make it possible for children to build a future of hope.
