Colombian Happy Faces is a small charity committed to fighting child poverty in Colombia, South America. Often working directly with street children, past projects have included getting orphaned and abandoned children into a care centre when they had previously been forced to work and beg at traffic lights just to survive. Our current project is co-funding a residential home and care centre for children with AIDS in Neiva, south-west Colombia. The building structure has now been completed but funds are urgently needed to complete the fit-out and provide the specialist equipment that is essential to help care for these sick children. Colombian Happy Faces is run on an entirely voluntary basis so every penny of your donation goes directly to helping some of the most disadvantaged children in South America.

Events for Namuwongo is an innovative partnership of people and companies who have come together to support this community by not only adopting them, but caring for this community to create real change for those who live there. Working together as a team, Events for Namuwongo along with Hope for Children, local NGOs, supporters, the local university, local leaders and the wider community will come together and work in a united way to deliver the change needed by this community Our Mission Event industry leaders got together at the Global Event Summit in London, in September, and decided to work together to create an industry cause. Events for Namuwongo has adopted Namuwongo, a slum community of approximately 20,000 people on the edge of Kampala in Uganda. The community suffers from poverty, polluted water, lack of sanitation and education, and has been ravaged by AIDs and neighbouring wars. It is also a community of hard working, energetic people, striving to solve their own problems and improve their own lives. Events for Namuwongo subscribes to a view that you can’t help everybody; therefore, you should help somebody properly, and we’ve decided to help Namuwongo until the people of the community can fully participate within Kampala’s economy. Our plan is to work together as an industry, befriend Namuwongo long term, and provide support as its needs evolve. Our Objectives The group plans to raise £400,000 in 2012/2013 to achieve the following: 1. Free, clean water for the whole community 2. Free, sanitation and hygienic toilets for the whole community 3. Transforming health care for the entire community 4. The creation of a new school: ‘The Hope Academy’ 5. Funds to educate 500 kids per year, rising to 1,500 long term 6. The provision for adult education services 7. Free sanitary products for girls in school 8. To create a long lasting and meaningful relationship with the community by visiting regularly

Verité Sport exists to promote a Christian presence in the world of sport, encouraging sports people to believe in Jesus Christ and applying the teaching of the Bible to sport. We do this through resources such as sporting devotionals, books, one-to-ones and sports chaplaincy. Verité also provides resources and equipment to enable people in the UK and overseas to participate in sport, partnerships which are often made possible through a Christian working in the world of sport in a given country. This page focuses particularly on Verité Sport's partnership with Laura Kyte and husband Fabio Gonzalez, based in the north of Argentina. The partnerhip was established in November 2012 and whilst Verité Sport is not Laura’s employer or sending agency, director Stuart Weir and the board provide accountability, supervision, prayer, advocacy and a means of tax-efficient giving. Laura writes: "In April 2014, we moved from the chaotic capital city of Buenos Aires to Fabio's home town, Cachi, 3 hours away from the provincial capital city of Salta, at 2400m above sea level. Cachi is frequently visited by athletes training at alititude for between 3 and 6 weeks, and we try and get alongside them as much as possible, having already hosted several in our new home. We have also set up an athletics team for young runners and race walkers, called "Más que Vencedores" (More than Conquerors, after Romans 8.37). Through our training methods and the opportunities to get alongside the young people, we aim to communicate Biblical values which we pray will stick with the young people for life, and eventually resulting in a full knowledge and understanding of who Christ is and who they are in Him. The athlete-coach relationship provides opportunities to share our lives and get alongside the young people in those moments of victory and defeat, strength and weakness, that sport so often brings to light." This page has been set up alongside the Verité Sport website to keep those interested up to date and to facilitate tax-efficient giving, enabling Fabio and Laura to continue to devote their time to getting alongside athletes and young people in Cachi.
