Even the new beds and mattresses that had recently been purchased were burned to a cinder. Fortunately all of the children escaped and no one was hurt. Villagers managed to throw sand and water and in the end stopped the fire from claiming the school as well. Global Angels funded the school and it is now the emergency home for the children. To top that, the rainy season has just started and the children are cold and hungry having to sleep on the concrete floors. For the last 9 months, we have also been supporting 3 meals every day for 117 children, as part of our Feed A Child Programme. For 40 children this is their first place they could call their home since losing their family. The local community are doing what they can to help the children but being rural Africa the neighbours are very poor. Our hearts have gone out to these children and we want to do all we can to support them in their time of need. It will cost around £20,000 to rebuild the children's home, and replace their pots and pans, bedding, mattresses... Unfortunately it is unlikely the news media will cover their plight - as its "only 40 kids in Sierra Leone" but they really do need our help.. we have people on the ground who can make immediate use of whatever we can provide to rebuild the home and care for the children... they just need the resources to get started.

These children have spent the past 6 years living in desperate conditions on the streets of Sierra Leone, many having lost their families in the recent civil war. By building Orphan Villages they create self sufficient communities that will bring long term benefits to the futures of hundreds of children. In the capital, Freetown, they have one orphan home. In the remote town of Kamakwie, lying in the north of the country, which receives virtually no aid or assistance from NGOs, they have 2 more homes and a new primary school. Currently 117 orphans receive shelter, food, clothing, health care, support, education and training opportunities through these projects. All of the work of the charity promotes self-sufficiency. Training in skills such as bee keeping, farming, sewing and small business management help the children learn and develop capabilities that will allow them to support themselves and their community in the future.

Many have left a life of abuse and poverty, and many think the streets of Pattaya are paved with gold. The reality is that many will fall into the hands of pimps who will sell them to pedophiles where they will be beaten if they refuse to do as they are told. If it is not the pimps who catch them it is the local gangs who make the children beg or steal. Many are forced to take drugs, making them addicted so that they will always do as they are told and not run away The Drop-In Center for Street Kids helps these kids change their lives. They have a safe place to sleep, they won’t go to bed feeling hungry, they have someone to talk to and they are beginning have their childhood back again. Some of these kids will eventually move to the new Father Ray's Village, where they will have a home in a community. Please help us support these children with medicine, schooling, books, musical instruments and food.   VIEW GALLERY FIND OUT MORE check here to make this a recurring monthly donation   MULLY’S CHILDRENS FAMILY (MCF), KENYA   MCF rescues and rehabilitates street children providing them with schooling and a family environment where they can get the necessary skills in order to be independent and valuable contributors to their communities.

When the village is complete there will be twenty homes with between four and ten children, boys and girls, all different ages living as ‘brothers & sisters’ in a family, cared for by a house ‘mother’. They will learn what it is like to live not just as part of a loving family, but also what it is like to be part of a community. Most children in Thailand are very loved and cared for, but in resorts like Pattaya there are an increasing number of street children, orphans and children trafficked and sold into prostitution and criminal activities. Drawing from the Drop In Center, a refuge for children in extreme situations, and from the large orphan homes, children will be moved into new small homes and families in the Village, go to school and given opportunity for a new start. Both the New Village project and Drop In Center are part of the renowned Father Ray Foundation. Each permanent home only costs £8,500 to build. Please help us build these homes and contribute to the ongoing care of these children with medicine, schooling, books, musical instruments and food. Please give whatever you can. Every little bit helps and 100% of these donations will go direct to the project.   VIEW GALLERY FIND OUT MORE check here to make this a recurring monthly donation   ORPHANS AND STREET CHILDREN   There are estimated to be 150 million street children around the world(UN 2001) In Sub-Saharan Africa alone there are at least 48 million orphans (UN 2006).
