Our Impactful Projects
Explore the initiatives that are creating real, lasting change in the lives of vulnerable children and young people around the world. Discover how your support can make a difference.
Project One - Athens, Greece: A Path from Displacement to Independence
Reaching a place of safety does not automatically give a displaced young person a stable future. Many arrive in Athens without family support, secure housing, financial resources, important documentation, language skills, or a clear path into education and employment. Without the right support during this critical transition, they can face homelessness, isolation, exploitation, and continued uncertainty.
Our first project will help Velos Youth provide young people with practical assistance and personalized guidance as they work toward stability and independence. Support may include essential meals and hygiene facilities, language education, legal and social guidance, counseling, housing assistance, employment preparation, computer access, transportation, and connections to other necessary services. The goal is not simply to meet an immediate need—it is to help each young person develop the confidence, skills, resources, and opportunities required to rebuild their life.
God’s Gift International will work with Velos Youth to identify priority needs, establish clear funding responsibilities, and monitor the project through regular reporting. We will share updates showing how funds are used, what services are delivered, and what measurable outcomes are being achieved. Success will be reflected in young people finding safe accommodation, continuing their education, securing employment, improving their well-being, and moving toward lasting independence.
This is where the mission of God’s Gift begins: helping vulnerable young people move beyond survival and toward a future filled with dignity, stability, purpose, and hope.
The 1,000 Founding Hearts Campaign is the first major initiative of the 1 Million Hearts Movement, bringing together 1,000 caring people who each give just €3.33 per month or to help support Velos Youth and provide displaced young people in Athens with safety, stability, opportunity, and hope for a better future.
Support this project by becoming one of our first 1,000 Founding Hearts through the 1 Million Hearts Movement.
Project Two - Tipperary, Ireland: Building Faith, Belonging, and a Better Future for Tipperary Youth
Young people need more than somewhere to go — they need somewhere they belong. In communities everywhere, teenagers can face isolation, negative influences, drugs, peer pressure, lack of direction, and too few positive opportunities outside of school. Without strong mentors and a supportive community around them, young people can easily become disconnected at a critical point in their lives.
Our second project will partner with Tipperary Bible Church in Tipperary Town, Ireland, formerly known as Tipperary Christian Fellowship. The church has served its community for decades and has experienced remarkable growth in recent years under Pastor Shaun Abrahams. Today, its children’s ministry, Sunday School and community outreach are creating opportunities for children and teenagers to develop their faith, build healthy relationships, and grow within a caring church community.
God’s Gift International will work alongside Tipperary Bible Church to help expand its outreach to children and teenagers, creating a stronger youth program centered on faith, mentorship, leadership, positive activities, community service and personal development. Our goal is to give young people a safe and welcoming place where they can build friendships, develop confidence and purpose, learn valuable life and leadership skills, and be surrounded by adults who genuinely care about their future.
This project is also about prevention. By providing positive alternatives, strong mentors, meaningful activities and a sense of belonging, we want to help steer young people away from drugs, harmful influences and choices that can permanently change the direction of their lives. Through our Global Youth Ministry Network and Youth Ambassador Program, they will also have opportunities to serve others, participate in humanitarian projects and become leaders within their own community.
To help make that possible, we are launching 333 Hearts for Tipperary, part of the 1 Million Hearts Movement. Our goal is to find 333 people willing to give just €3.33 per month, creating approximately €1,108.89 every month to help strengthen youth outreach, mentorship, activities and leadership opportunities in Tipperary.
333 Hearts. €3.33 a month. One stronger generation of young people in Tipperary.
Help us build a stronger future for the young people of Tipperary.
Project Three — Africa Hope Academy, Kenya: Giving Children an Education — and a Future
In rural Mucharage, Kenya, poverty and displacement have left many children facing barriers that can keep them out of school entirely. For children from struggling families, orphaned children and those living in other vulnerable circumstances, something as basic as transportation, a uniform, books or a daily meal can determine whether they receive an education at all.
Africa Hope Academy Mucharage was created to give these children another path.
Located in Trans-Nzoia County near the slopes of Mount Elgon, Africa Hope Academy currently serves approximately 120 children between the ages of 3 and 14, providing education from preschool through Grade 6. The school works to give children from disadvantaged backgrounds access to education while also providing meals, learning materials, uniforms and transportation.
Many families in the surrounding community have experienced generations of poverty and displacement, while overcrowded public schools and limited resources make consistent access to quality education extremely difficult. Africa Hope Academy was established to help keep vulnerable children in school, reduce dropout rates and give children who might otherwise be left behind a genuine opportunity to build a different future.
God’s Gift International will work with Director Paul Barasa and Africa Hope Academy to strengthen this mission through child sponsorship, education, nutrition and improvements to the school itself, including meals, educational supplies, uniforms, transportation, classroom support, sanitation facilities, a proper kitchen and the development of a more permanent and sustainable school campus.
To bring this project into the 1 Million Hearts Movement, we are launching 1,680 Hearts for Hope. It takes approximately 14 Heart Members giving €3.33 per month to support one child’s €40 monthly sponsorship. By reaching 1,680 Hearts, together we can help provide ongoing educational support for all 120 children currently attending Africa Hope Academy.
14 Hearts. One Child. One Future.
Education can change the trajectory of a child’s entire life — and together, one small monthly gift at a time, we can help give 120 children the opportunity to build a better one
Projects That Impact Lives
Projects creating lasting change
We are most excited to share projects that create real, lasting change in the lives of vulnerable children and young people around the world. These include providing safe housing, nutritious food, clean water, clothing, healthcare, education, trauma support, and opportunities for children affected by war, human trafficking, hunger, homelessness, abuse, and neglect.
What makes these projects special is that they are built on trusted partnerships, personal involvement, and responsible stewardship. Before approving an international project for funding, God’s Gift International carefully evaluates the organization and conducts an in-person site assessment. We want our supporters to see exactly who they are helping, how their donations are being used, and what measurable difference each project creates. Our projects will not offer temporary relief alone—they will help restore safety, dignity, independence, and hope for a brighter future.
Making a real difference
Our projects make a real difference by addressing both the immediate needs and long-term futures of children and young people. We help provide essential support such as safe housing, nutritious food, clean water, clothing, healthcare, education, counseling, and trauma-informed care. These resources give vulnerable children the stability they need to heal, grow, learn, and regain hope.
At the same time, our Global Youth Ministry Network empowers young people through faith, leadership development, mentorship, volunteer service, and hands-on humanitarian projects. They are not simply observing change—they are actively helping create it. By combining compassionate assistance with education, personal development, and sustainable opportunities, our projects help young people build confidence, independence, and a path toward a safer and more promising future.

Our Hopes and Dreams for the Future
Our greatest hope is to grow the 1 Million Hearts Movement into a worldwide community of one million compassionate people donating just $3.33 per month. Reaching that goal would generate $3.33 million every month—nearly $40 million annually—before grants, fundraising events, corporate sponsorships, donated goods, and volunteer services are included. Under our transparency promise, at least $31.968 million each year would support charitable programs benefiting vulnerable children and young people.
With that level of support, we could potentially improve the lives of of thousands—and possibly millions—of children every year. We dream of helping create safe homes, quality schools, feeding and clean-water programs, accessible healthcare, trauma-recovery services, and educational and vocational opportunities for children and young people affected by war, human trafficking, hunger, homelessness, abuse, and neglect.
We also hope to expand our Global Youth Ministry Network, empowering even more young people to become leaders of change in their communities and beyond.
