There are estimated to be 150 million street children around the world(UN 2001) In Sub-Saharan Africa alone there are at least 48 million orphans (UN 2006).
Millions of children live and work on the streets, without protection from traffickers, pedophiles, criminals and abusers. Millions of children do not have food or education, adequate shelter,or a loving family as we know it.
The dynamic projects below really are making a significant difference in the lives of thousands of orphans and street children.
Our Global Angels Promise means that 100% of the donation we receive from you goes directly to the project you choose!

Drop-In Center for Street Kids, Pattaya, Thailand
Every day children arrive in the holiday resort town of Pattaya hoping to find a better life for themselves. Many have left a life of abuse and poverty, and many think the streets of Pattaya are paved with gold.
The reality is that many will fall into the hands of pimps who will sell them to pedophiles where they will be beaten if they refuse to do as they are told. If it is not the pimps who catch them it is the local gangs who make the children beg or steal. Many are forced to take drugs, making them addicted so that they will always do as they are told and not run away
The Drop-In Center for Street Kids helps these kids change their lives. They have a safe place to sleep, they won’t go to bed feeling hungry, they have someone to talk to and they are beginning have their childhood back again.
Some of these kids will eventually move to the new Father Ray's Village, where they will have a home in a community.
Please help us support these children with medicine, schooling, books, musical instruments and food.
New Village for Orphans and Street Kids, Pattaya, Thailand
A new village is being built for some of Thailand's most vulnerable children. When the village is complete there will be twenty homes with between four and ten children, boys and girls, all different ages living as ‘brothers & sisters’ in a family, cared for by a house ‘mother’. They will learn what it is like to live not just as part of a loving family, but also what it is like to be part of a community.
Most children in Thailand are very loved and cared for, but in resorts like Pattaya there are an increasing number of street children, orphans and children trafficked and sold into prostitution and criminal activities.
Drawing from the Drop In Center, a refuge for children in extreme situations, and from the large orphan homes, children will be moved into new small homes and families in the Village, go to school and given opportunity for a new start.
Both the New Village project and Drop In Center are part of the renowned Father Ray Foundation.
Each permanent home only costs £8,500 to build. Please help us build these homes and contribute to the ongoing care of these children with medicine, schooling, books, musical instruments and food.
Please give whatever you can. Every little bit helps and 100% of these donations will go direct to the project.
MCF rescues and rehabilitates street children providing them with schooling and a family environment where they can get the necessary skills in order to be independent and valuable contributors to their communities.
After 17 years of dedicated work, Charles and Esther Mully are ‘Mama and Papa’ to more than 1,800 children and youth from the Kibera Slums in Nairobi. Most having been orphaned by HIV/ Aids were living by crime and prostitution on the street.
This award winning charity is without doubt, one of the most amazing success stories for street children in Africa with 35 former street kids currently sponsored at International Universities. Many have earned EU organic farming qualifications and apprentice farmers provide Europe with Kenyan organic french beans. The income generated returns to support the children at MCF as part of their self-sustaining strategy.
A new home for 60 street children at MCF only costs £20,000.
Help us build one of these homes.
Our Global Angels Promise means that 100% of your donation will go directly to the materials to build the new home.
The Fred Nkunda Orphan Home is a safe haven to hundreds of orphans in Rwanda. Altogether 9,600 orphans from the home have been placed in foster care families.
The Rwandan government kindly provided a 15 hectare piece of land on which to establish a purpose-designed facility is comprised of a clinic, dining hall, laundry, kitchen, administration block, staff quarters and dormitories designed to accommodate 600 orphans.
The Rwanda Training Centre , also on the property is training orphans, street children and children from surrounding villages in various life skills that will enable them to become independent and able to provide for themselves and their families.
Training includes computer literacy, carpentry, art and drawing, agriculture, sewing and pottery. Children in the carpentry class have built school desks and chairs for the home and centre.
Global Angels Ambassador, Nate James has recently visited this centre and said it was the best project he saw in Rwanda.
