Their holistic "recipe" involves practical, local training to grow food, improve health, and establish income-generating savings groups. Project funding will go toward entering a new area of Renk, South Sudan, with a three-year plan for hands-on farm training with three full-time workers, their training, transport, and supplies to equip families for a more abundant life.

Child Impact International

Child Impact International is committed to protecting vulnerable children through education, prevention, and long-term care initiatives that address the root causes of exploitation. Guided by our mission to empower vulnerable children through education and fight to eradicate exploitation, our programs focus on equipping children, families, and communities with the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent abuse before it occurs. Project funds will go toward a new ministry for providing workshops, along with materials and teaching resources, to educate vulnerable children in public schools and communities about child protection. These workshops provide age-appropriate instruction that helps children understand safe and unsafe touch, recognize inappropriate behavior, establish personal boundaries, and identify trusted adults and reporting pathways. Through our Sexual Abuse Prevention Outreach, we are expanding educational workshops to reach all 106 public schools in the municipality of Barreirinha, Brazil over an 18-month period.
