ANALYSIS OF CHANGE IN NET FUNDS The charity had no material debt during the year. 36
Our Children at Risk programme offers intervention for vulnerable children, exactly when they need it. Starting at just £3 a month, Children at Risk donors know that their money makes a tremendous difterence. The fund they contribule to enables us to reach out to chÉldren in unslable circumstances and desperale need. When a drought destroys crops and threatens lives, Children at Risk provides food and resource to rebuild. When a child's farnily hits a crisis that threatens their ability to survive and stay ill school, Children at Risk provides the stability they need. And, in unstable regions like Kayah State in Myanmar, Children at Risk sustains access to education and es.sential health supplies. Airstrikes and drone attacks are a terTifjong fact of life for children across rebel-controlled areas of Myanmar, including Kayah Stale, also known as Karenni State. Trenches and 'foxholes' are dug around homes and schools, and children know that when they hear aircraft Ihey musi run for the jungle- or use the trenches as makeshift bomb shelters if ihey don't have lime lo reach Ihe trees. In southern Kayah Slate, Global Care's Children At Risk programme has been supporting 68 teachers and 134 students at four schools, including iollage primary schools and one ol the region's only secondary schools- Po Hoe High School. Life is often exiremely difficult for these young people, whose families cannol iifford lo support ihem, but ihey know this is Iheir only chance of completing their education. Gifts of rice and toiletries encourage children to keep going. Children like 12-year-old *Zin, Ihe youngest of seven children. She lives with her sister. "I Ivaiil to become a medic," she says. "I will work very hard to reach Inyfuture. Moy God blessyouforyour help."
Child sponsorship gives children on the margins of society the opportunity to thrive, not just today but as adults too. Education is the most importaiit gift a child can be giveii, bul for many vulnerable children it is nol an Opiion. Poverty, discrimination and hunger gel in the ivay, creating seemingly unassailable bairiers. But, when a child is sponsored, those harriers can be (Ivercorne. Sponsorship pays lor a child's ediicalion and Ihe resources they iieed to learn. It can cover the cost of uniform and shoes, provide essential food for liealth51 development and give welfare support for children in vulnerable situations. And it's truly transformational., for every year a girl is in pi'imary education, her eainillg potential increases by 1201Tr. A future out of poverty suddenls, becomes possihle. Four-year-old 'Maiy lost rnost of her toes when slie ivas burned in an accident i,vhen she w'as }rounger. One of lier older sisters was also hurt. It's hc1rd for her dc1d, a rickshaii puller, to meet the hasic needs of his family lel alone his dallghters, additional needs. The family often onl31 ale one meal a day, and the oldest daughter was on the verge of dropping out of school. Tlien our parlners met the family. We found a sponsor for imary, Ivho noiv has all her edllcational needs met. Thanks lo our partner's inlervention and Mary's sponsor, she is thriving in school. Not only that: but Ihe extra suppoi't foi. fvlary means that the family can focus tlieir resoui'ces on proiryding for iheir oilier tivo daughtei's. All Ilii'ee sistei-s aye noi.v in scliool and likely to stay there.
*/ Our Changemaker projects enable the ti"ansforrnation of communities. In Uganda, our Disability Community Oulreach project identifies vnerable children living ivith disabilities in the iollages aiound Soroti district. These children are often neglected by families Ihat have neither ihe Tesoulce nor the knowledge lo help them thrive. Since the project began in 2021, over 300 'hidden' children have been identified in five rural dislrici% with Ihe help of communityleaders. Salume, our Disability Community Outreach Officer, assesses each child and enables access to largelted supporl. For 11-year-old .. Bale, this changed his life. He has sickle cell anaemia and has been unable to walk due to joint sivellings since he i.vas Six. He now has a wheelchair and, thanks to Salume's referral, had a physiotherapy assessment.
