Love and Compassion in Action for China's Poor, Needy and Orphaned

It's not uncommon for children to be abandoned on the street or at the gate of an orphanage. Some of the children are healthy little girls who simply aren't wanted. Many have minor disabilities such as a harelip or cleft palate. Conditions in the orphanages are often dismal due to underfunding. The government may be trying to bring change, but the task is huge. Recent changes by the government have caused many orphans to be returned to orphanages and they no longer benefit from the smaller home-like environments that NGOs provided. Please pray for these children.

Quick Facts

• A simple harelip may cause a child to be abandoned
• 80,000 children have lost at least one parent due to HIV/AIDS
• Sometimes only one orphanage carer for up to 40 children
• Carers working 12-hour days, 6 days per week

Child Sponsorship Programme

We sponsor many children in their education needs. If children and young adults can receive an education, they are better prepared not only for the short term but for life.

One orphaned girl dreams of being a doctor. How great it would be if she achieves her dream through the education that we are supporting her in.

In another area of China, we support work with mentally and physically challenged young adults. They live in welfare centres and really value training, activities and social involvement.

What can I do?

The Bible says that God's nature is: "One who cares for the afflicted and desires justice for the poor." This is the type of care that your donation can help CCSM provide. We want to bring love, hope and justice for those whose voice is small. You can stand with us in that.

If you would like to sponsor one or more children, or make an online donation to CCSM, you can do so here.
