Mission without borders
Images of children suffering in distressingly poor orphanages across Europe are, thankfully, a much less common sight than they used to be.
But with the closure of these institutions being a requirement of EU membership, there’s an adverse consequence.
Now, when children become orphaned, they are sent to relatives many of whom can’t afford to look after them.
Mission Without Borders works with community centres and churches to support homeless children as well as families in poverty across Eastern Europe.
From girls clubs in Moldova which promote self- care and self-esteem, to bee-keeping and food growing projects in Ukraine, In Kind Direct goods are helping to alleviate poverty and hardship in some of Europe’s poorest communities.
"For families that are living hand to mouth, basic items such as nappies, sanitary items and toiletries are a luxury and these can help to make life more convenient and bearable for people. If we didn’t receive these goods from In Kind Direct, we would have to spend a lot more money buying them. The money we save frees up funds that we use to develop more projects" says Carly Jones, National Manager.
