Our chosen charity: World Vision
Our school council researched and chose a Christian Charity to support. Their choice was World Vision.
Who are World Vision?
World Vision are a Christian Charity that help children – of all faiths and none – in some of the world's most dangerous places. They believe it takes a whole community to create happy and fulfilling childhoods and work together with communities so they're empowered to do just that.
Their integrated approach includes providing water, healthcare, education, child protection, and income generation. Working across almost 100 countries, their aim is to provide every child with the opportunity to fulfil their God-given potential.
Why did we choose World Vision?
"We chose World Vision because we have learnt lots about how children across the world don't always have the same as us. We want everyone to have the same choices and opportunities as us. God wants us to look after everybody and make sure they all have water, food, and school. Raising money for World Vision helps us looks after the world and all of God's creation." - School Council
