Sri Lanka

From the 21st to the 17th July we give thanks for work delivered through our Children At Risk fund, helping us act in times of crisis, deliver planned interventions and start new initiatives. Give thanks for: - helping domestic violence victims and HIV+ children in Sri Lanka - improved educational facilities in Ethiopia and South Sudan - bikes for secondary school students in Zimbabwe - the delivery of urgent medical help for children worldwide - all the donors who support our Children At Risk programme.

Local partner Russell de Alwis is church relations and training coordinator at LEADS, an organisation in Sri Lanka which works with abused and traumatised children. Praise God for the time and effort Russell has invested in awareness-raising programmes for parents and children over the past year. Pray for children to be rescued from abuse as more people learn to recognise the signs of child abuse and speak up on their behalf.
