An estimated 70 million school-age children around the world are not enrolled in school. Why are these children missing out on getting an education? The reason is poverty. They either don’t have the money to pay for school, or even worse, they have to work to support their families.

We have a vision to change this. Every month we help hundreds of children prepare for their futures. We do this primarily through:

• providing full or partial payment for tuition, uniforms and school supplies for Christian families financially unable to meet their children’s educational needs.
• providing support for Heaven’s Family-sponsored Christian schools that, through our help, can provide discounted or free tuition for their students.

Equally devastating are the 862 million adults in the developing world who cannot read or write. Their lack of basic education translates into lack of job skills and the inability to support themselves or their families. We are focused on providing business skills and job training in developing countries, through:

• the creation and support of vocational training centers that teach job skills to young and mature adults who need better jobs.
• providing graduated vocational students with grants or loans to help them start their own small businesses.

We’ve been happy to watch as these Christian students grow up and, as their businesses prosper, they almost always give generously to spreading the gospel and empowering others to also become self-sufficient.
