25 years ago our founder Maureen was volunteering in Kolkata and met some young girls who had been rescued from the streets. Witnessing the horror they had endured, Maureen made a promise to those children that she would dedicate the rest of her life to fundraising for the protection and care of street and slum connected children and their communities. Since then, so many of you have joined this mission and helped us to make such a difference – you have helped us keep our promise to the children in our care.

This Christmas, on our 25th Anniversary, we need your help as much as ever. It is not an option to break a promise to a child and we have so many children in our care, and needing our care. Our promise has been kept for 25 years and must never be broken.

So, we are asking you to make your own Christmas Promise to a child who needs your help. You can make a secure one-off or recurring donation of any amount, send a Christmas eCard to someone special, you can choose to sponsor a child’s education or buy a Gift of HOPE for yourself or a loved one. We promise you that whatever you can give will make a real difference this Christmas.
