Our young people in the Philippines have had a incredible time at summer camp this year – huge thank you to everyone who donated and our amazing Church Partners in the Philippines! You can read some of their testimonies below!

We also have plenty of ways that you can help and get involved – whether it’s supporting our Women’s Training Programme, contributing to our upcoming trip to the Philippines, or sponsoring one of our priority children who urgently need support.

As always, we are grateful and humbled by your support of our work and we hope you enjoy catching up on all our latest news!

Thank you for being a blessing to us!!

The Purim Trust Team

 

 

We want to say a big thank you to everyone who donated to our youth camp appeal! Because of you, our Sponsored young people were able to come away together for fun, fellowship, and life-changing encounters in God’s presence.

Our Church Partners have shared some powerful testimonies from some of the youth that attended:

(names have been changed for safeguarding purposes)

 

 
These summer camps provide a safe place for young people to encounter freedom, healing, and restoration. And YOU have been a part of that through your giving. Because of you, young lives are being touched by God and set free.
 
If you would like to impart HOPE into a young person’s life on a monthly basis, then why not consider sponsoring a student. Please hit the button below to find out more about College Sponsorship.
 
 
 
 
We are so close to being able to start our very first course for our Women’s Training Programme!

But we still need more Sponsors, Partners and donors to help who have a heart to invest in the Mothers of our Sponsor Children. Our first course in dressmaking will 

equip them with the skills and qualifications they need to bring their families one step closer to self-sufficiency.

And here’s how you can help:

Sponsor a Mother’s training – For £42 a month, you can Sponsor the training of a Mother and help her on her journey towards self-sufficiency, by covering the costs involved with gaining a qualification which includes the materials needed, transportation to and from the training, and administrative costs to run the project.

Partner with this project – for a monthly contribution of any amount, you’ll cover the costs involved with overseeing, growing and developing this project, and coordinating the students.

Fund a sewing machine – we want to gift every Mother a sewing machine upon successful completion of the dressmaking course. This will enable her to start working and earning money straight away! You can either fully fund a sewing machine for £187 or donate any amount to contribute towards a sewing machine.

Make a donation – give a one off amount that will be used to establish this new project and help us support even more women.

We are so excited to welcome Hannah Rodway to the Purim family as our newest Trustee!

Hannah has worked in various roles within the ministry and charity sector and brings extensive experience and expertise to her role as a Trustee.

We are delighted to have her on our board of Trustees and we are looking forward to all she will contribute to the Purim team!

 
 
 
We are excited to announce that we will be heading to the Philippines this October! These trips are crucial for us to check the progress of our Sponsorship programmes and connect with our Church Partners.
It has been a long time since our UK team have been able to get out to the Philippines again. Since then, our Sponsor Children have grown and flourished in our programmes, and more than anything we want to check in with how they’re doing.
This trip will also give us the opportunity to share stories of how YOU – our donors, are impacting the lives of these families through your giving and support.
So if you would like to make a contribution to our travel fund – Purim on the Move, please click the button below to make a donation today!
We’re grateful for your heart to help!

Priority Children needing Sponsorship!

 

We have several priority children who urgently need Sponsors.

Priority children are often the ones in greatest need or have been waiting the longest for a Sponsor.

If you want to make a difference in someone’s life this year, why not consider sponsoring a priority child?

For £32 per month, you will ensure they receive three meals a day, vitamins, health checks, supplies, support from a local church, and everything they need to go to school.

To learn more about each priority child, click on the buttons below and sign up to Sponsor a child today!
