Delivering HOPE to those in need since 2018 We’re a UK registered Christian charity, seeking to deliver HOPE to the most vulnerable. We do this by partnering with churches and organisations in the Philippines to equip their vision of delivering HOPE and lasting change to their communities. Often, this is through providing education and training through our Sponsorship Programmes. The story behind The Purim Trust Our Founder-Director, Esther Branco Dias, has a heart for the most underprivileged people who are living in some of the world’s hardest conditions. Having experienced abuse for many years, Esther understands the pain of hopelessness and rejection, as well as the burden of shame and fear that can come with those experiences. Through missions in Albania, Africa and the Philippines, Esther has worked with women and children who have faced extreme poverty and incredibly difficult circumstances, including abuse, exploitation, addiction, trafficking and enforced labour. The Purim Trust was created to provide an opportunity to give people a helping hand up and out of their circumstances, bringing practical support, opportunity and HOPE for a better future. What we do We provide practical support, education and opportunities that help children, students, women and families move towards a more hopeful future. Through our programmes and appeals, we seek to meet practical needs, equip people for the future and share the love and HOPE of Jesus. Sponsorships Through our Sponsorship Programmes, we support children and college students with education and practical needs, while equipping women through skills training and opportunities that help them work towards self-sufficiency. View Sponsorships Appeals Our Appeals enable us to respond to specific needs beyond our regular Sponsorship Programmes — from Christmas gifts and Youth Camp to crisis support and other practical needs within the communities we serve.
