  • Ghaichatou Dicko stirs porridge she and other women are preparing for children at a school in Timbuktu, a city in northern Mali which was seized by Islamist fighters in 2012 and then liberated by French and Malian soldiers in early 2013.

The ACT Alliance has provided this group of women with cereal grains, oil and salt to help them provide nutritious food for the children.

  • Edna Correnord applies makeup to the face of Marie Michelle Clerirl in a beautician training program at the "House of Hope," a community-based educational training program in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, for children performing domestic work (so-called 'restaveks'), sponsored by the Ecumenical Foundation for Peace and Justice (FOPJ).  Participants in the program also include former gang members and teenage mothers. Many rights activists consider the use of restaveks to be a modern form of slavery. They are usually children from extremely poor families who are sent away to work as domestic servants in wealthier homes. The children aren't paid for their work, but provided shelter and a sometimes meager meal supply. In the best case scenarios, families will send their restavek children to school. But restaveks often work long days performing a variety of household tasks for nothing more that a meal or two a day. Two-thirds of restaveks are girls, and they are extremely vulnerable to rape and sexual abuse from the families who house and control them. The life of a restavek child in Haiti often varies between bleak and hopeless, and many children never successfully leave their slave conditions. The "House of Hope," which is supported by Church World Service, a member of the ACT Alliance, has begun to change that cycle of oppression for some restavek children..

  • Adut Dheiu eats wild leaves with four of her children in Pamat, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where a persistent drought has destroyed crops, left people hungry, and pushed up incidences of malnutrition. Dheiu and her five children, who often don't go to school because without food they are too weak to study, have received food vouchers from a local aid organization supported by Christian Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance. The vouchers allowed families like hers to buy the food they needed, while supporting local traders and markets. Yet it wasn't enough, and Dheiu goes into the bush to harvest the so-called "hunger foods" so her children have something to eat.

  • Karol Salazar: "I’m from Choluteca but I live in Tegucigalpa. I work building capacity in the community, particularly on family plots, school plots. We want to run more projects, because they do benefit the community, in their nutrition and independence, but also in building self confidence and good social relationships between people. It’s good to see women become producers of food for their own nutrition, and to sell for an income. We also work on small community projects, helping them to get organised to get improvements in their roads or houses. Communities can do a lot if they get organised and together make a plan for whatever they need. That’s what I do here, helping with those areas of work. Christian Ministries have several programmes in education, that’s where I began working, as a social worker and teacher of sixth grade, and I worked on grants and nurseries, and I worked on a programme to guarantee a nutritious meal at school, because lots of the children here are from very low income families."

  • A boy in class at the "House of Hope," a community-based educational training program in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, for children performing domestic work (so-called 'restaveks'), sponsored by the Ecumenical Foundation for Peace and Justice (FOPJ).  Participants in the program also include former gang members and teenage mothers. Many rights activists consider the use of restaveks to be a modern form of slavery. They are usually children from extremely poor families who are sent away to work as domestic servants in wealthier homes. The children aren't paid for their work, but provided shelter and a sometimes meager meal supply. In the best case scenarios, families will send their restavek children to school. But restaveks often work long days performing a variety of household tasks for nothing more that a meal or two a day. Two-thirds of restaveks are girls, and they are extremely vulnerable to rape and sexual abuse from the families who house and control them. The life of a restavek child in Haiti often varies between bleak and hopeless, and many children never successfully leave their slave conditions. The "House of Hope," which is supported by Church World Service, a member of the ACT Alliance, has begun to change that cycle of oppression for some restavek children..
