- In The Philippines we operate the Shining Jewels Children’s Village with four residential homes and a primary school, together with extensive agriculture activities.
- In The Solomon Islands our work is primarily a school facilities building and services program which has raised over a million dollars for improvements and capacity building.
- In Sri Lanka we help where the need is greatest. We have helped to re-roof a primary school in Colombo to make it fit for purpose, refurbished the dining hall and kitchen at a boarding school in Kandy to make it too fit for purpose and assisted with the water supply of an orphanage in Negombo. Several more projects are planned in the future.
