Progress Report: Fiscal Year 2017 (October 2016 to September 2017)
In the past year, our projects empowered children to protect themselves through life skills education, training, and peer support groups. We helped vulnerable children to enroll and remain in school by reducing the financial strain on families. As children gained leadership skills, they became advocates for preventing the abuse of children.
Thank you for your faithful support.

Through our work in Armenia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kenya, and Mozambique, we are changing the attitudes and behaviors that put children at risk. It is challenging work. It takes time. But our mission could not be closer to the heart of God—because it is His precious children we are protecting.
Thank you for being part of these efforts in fiscal year 2016. This report celebrates the progress we made together. Please pray for continuing safety and healing for children who have been hurt. We ask God to help us reach even more children this year.

We found that this approach has the potential for positive impact on the lives of children and their families, particularly with regard to psychosocial well-being and protection.
