SAO Children


It takes a community to raise a child...

Long term change occurs...

  • when parents can afford to pay for their children’s schooling, regularly provide nutritious food and pay for medical care;
  • when a family is able to address violence in their home and develop healthy ways of building family life;
  • when a community improves its children’s environment by securing access to clean water, well-resourced healthcare and adequate sanitation facilities.

Your support of SAO Children helps free children to enjoy the hope of a changed life they could only have dreamed of. To:

  • grow up healthy
  • learn and develop
  • live in a safe environment
  • make a valued contribution to community life

SAO Children works with Christian partners who address the needs of the most vulnerable children, including those who have experienced abuse or exploitation, are involved in child labour or have been trafficked from their homes.
