Every project you support helps children feel safe, cared for, and full of hope.
Every gift meets a tangible need — from solar energy to safe transportation — and every child feels the impact of your kindness.
When you support a project through World’s Children, you help create safety, stability, and hope that lasts.
Together, we are building brighter futures — one project, one child, one act of love at a time.
Nueva Creación – Projector and Computer for Learning
At Nueva Creación, learning happens in every corner of the home — around shared tables, under shady outdoor spaces, and in small groups where older children help the younger ones.
Your gift helps complete this $1,174 project to bring educational technology and shared experiences to Nueva Creación in Baja, Mexico.
Bridge of Hope Playground
At Bridge of Hope, playtime should be a moment of joy — a break from the challenges the children have already faced in their young lives. But without a proper playground, the children run and play on uneven, rocky, and muddy ground. When it rains, the area turns slippery and unsafe, and play must pause.
Your gift helps complete this $4,534 project to create a secure, joyful playground at Bridge of Hope in Ethiopia.
Balavikasita Sadan – New Guard Gate
At Balavikasita Sadan, safety is more than a physical need — it’s an emotional one. The iron gate that once stood as a symbol of protection has rusted and weakened over time. It no longer locks securely, and it no longer provides a barrier from the busy streets, unfamiliar foot traffic, and noise just outside the home’s walls.
Your gift helps complete this $3,200 project to install a new guard gate and protect Balavikasita Sadan in India.
Nueva Creación – Protective Wall for Safety
At Nueva Creación, the children finally have a place where they feel loved and cared for—but the grounds surrounding the home are not yet safe. Because there is no protective wall around the property, snakes, rats, and even tarantulas can easily enter the play areas and outdoor sleeping spaces.
Your gift helps complete this $1,334 project to build a protective wall and ensure safety for Nueva Creación in Baja, Mexico.
Macecall Children’s Home
The land 50km from Macecall holds enormous potential — fertile soil, open space, and the promise of fresh food. Yet without access to consistent year-round water, it sits underused for multiple months out of the year, and the home continues to rely on market prices that rise unpredictably and stretch their limited budget beyond what they can carry.
Your gift helps complete this $16,000 project to create sustainable farming and food security for Macecall Children’s Home in Kenya.
New Vision Engikaret School
Water in Engikaret is a gift that must be treasured. The school sits in a dry, bush region where rainfall is unpredictable and often scarce. During the dry months, children and staff must walk long distances to collect water or wait for delivery trucks that are expensive and unreliable. Every drop matters.
Your gift helps complete this $1,334 project to provide a sustainable rainwater collection system at New Vision Engikaret in Tanzania.
Bridge of Hope – Library & Technology Center
At Bridge of Hope, students work hard and dream big — but without access to books, computers, or internet, their opportunities are limited. After school, they want to study, explore new ideas, and build skills for their future, yet their only option is a bare room with little more than a chalkboard. A library and technology center would change everything.
Your gift helps complete this $5,416 project to establish a library and technology center at Bridge of Hope in Ethiopia.
Mab’s Haven Home for Girls
Every morning at Mab’s Haven begins the same way — with a long walk. The children travel great distances on foot to reach school, to pick up supplies, or to attend medical appointments. When the heat rises or storms roll in, the journey becomes even harder. What should be a simple trip to school becomes an exhausting challenge, especially for the youngest children. Staff members do everything they can to keep them safe, but they are limited without a vehicle.
Your gift helps complete this $16,800 project to provide dependable transportation for Mab’s Haven in Zambia.
Garden of Eden Staff Housing
At Garden of Eden, water is both a daily necessity and a daily struggle. The home currently relies on pumping water from a distant source — a process that consumes time, money, and physical energy. Garden of Eden pays for expensive and inconsistent electricity to operate pumps. Every week brings the same exhausting question: “Will we be able to get water today?” And every dollar spent on high electric bills is a dollar that cannot be spent on food, school fees, or care for the children.
Your gift helps complete this $9,334 project to build staff housing and strengthen the Garden of Eden community in Kenya.
Rwanda Future Builders – Community Center Phase 1
After witnessing the extraordinary transformation that came from sending 105 students from Rwogo village to school, Patrick and Peter began to dream even bigger. They saw firsthand that education doesn’t just change a child — it changes an entire community. Parents became more engaged, siblings grew curious about learning, and the village began imagining a different kind of future.
Your gift helps complete the first phase of this $53,334 project to purchase the land for the Indatwa Community Center in Rwanda, empowering families and young leaders.
Garden of Eden
At Garden of Eden, water is both a daily necessity and a daily struggle. The home currently relies on pumping water from a distant source — a process that consumes time, money, and physical energy. Garden of Eden pays for expensive and inconsistent electricity to operate pumps. Every week brings the same exhausting question: “Will we be able to get water today?” And every dollar spent on fuel is a dollar that cannot be spent on food, school fees, or care for the children.
Your gift helps complete this $8,907 project to bring solar energy and reliable water access to Garden of Eden in Kenya.
Sustainable Livestock & Agriculture Expansion
Across our partner homes, expanding livestock and agriculture is creating steady nutrition, new income, and real stability for the children. With animals providing daily eggs, milk, and meat — and gardens ready to grow fruits and vegetables year-round — centers can rely less on outside donations and cover essential costs by selling surplus. Just as importantly, kids gain confidence and practical skills by caring for animals and working the land. Your support helps turn these projects into sustainable sources of food, dignity, and opportunity.
Your gift helps complete this project to provide livestock that sustains nutrition and creates income for multiple homes.
Macecall is home to 52 children. They are currently experiencing food insecurity with the rising costs of food, education fees and utilities for the home. They are operating at a $3,000/month deficit. Giving monthly to this need will ensure they can continue to care for all the children. They have asked for 4 other projects in addition to their immediate need of food security.
World’s Children is committed to honoring your stated preferences for donations. In some circumstances, such as overfunding of a project, your contribution will be used for the greatest current need of vulnerable children.
World’s Children is a 501(c)3 nonprofit registered in the US under EIN 20-5276353.
