You can put a vulnerable child on the path toward a better life

Six year-year-old Omar was a child in desperate need. Scared and threatened by the sounds of gunfire and explosions, the young boy and his family were forced to flee their home in Syria with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

If not for the kindness and generosity of caring friends like you, Omar was destined for a lifetime of hardships. Instead, he is safe and thriving in neighboring Lebanon, where he is enrolled at the Salesian-run Angels of Peace School. It is there that the school staff — a psychologist and special education teachers — have devoted themselves to Omar’s healing and recovery. And now, Omar is on the path toward a brighter future.

Your support is making a difference.

For every child like Omar, there are countless more children around the world that are in dire need. They don’t have enough clean water or nutritious food to keep them healthy. They live outdoors, under tarps or in make-shift shacks that leave them unprotected from extreme weather conditions. And they lack the education needed to become self-sufficient, productive members of society.

By making a gift today, you’ll be transforming the lives of poor children who desperately hope for a better future.

Our Salesian missionaries serve the poorest of the poor in more than 130 countries around the world, and provide thousands of programs proven to enhance the lives of those who need it most.

Thank you for whatever you can give. Precious lives are depending on you!

There are millions of children in dire need around the world. They live in extreme poverty, rarely have enough food to eat, don’t have access to clean water, and live in make-shift tents. They can’t go to school or get an education because they have to work and help their parents make ends meet. They don’t deserve these hardships. Together, we can make a difference and give them the chance for a better tomorrow.
