GLOBAL PROJECT

HOPE FOR WILLIAM

Hope For William’ is our family of churches’ (Relational Mission) Pathways from Poverty Christmas Appeal 2026. This Christmas, we're focusing our giving on an urgent need in Kenya, where over 1 million children are trapped in child labour instead of receiving the education that is rightfully theirs. This appeal is about bringing real, lasting hope. Take William—his is just one story among millions. He used to spend his days working in the fields, but today, he is in school, building a future. We want to see William’s story multiplied for thousands more children, and your generosity will directly help turn that vision into reality.
