This project aims to support socially excluded Lebanese sub-groups (Dom) and Syrian refugees, with a primary focus on improving the educational outcomes of children and youth. It funds various initiatives, including a primary student component at an Education Centre, vocational training, a sewing atelier, and social support programs for parents and families. By contributing to this project, donors directly enhance the education of refugee and minority children, providing essential services such as counseling, speech therapy, and psychological support. Additionally, the project offers recreational activities that supplement children’s time in classrooms, promoting both physical and mental well-being.
The project also extends its support to the wider family network, offering legal assistance to help families obtain birth certificates and other identification documents, which are crucial for accessing shelter and other services. Legal aid is provided to refugees and families navigating complex legal challenges. In terms of economic development, the project has produced over 1,800 pillows and 2,100 blankets, which not only generated income but also supplied essential items to families in need. Furthermore, the project safeguards important identification documents for families living in emergency situations, ensuring that they have secure access to critical information. Through this comprehensive approach, the project significantly improves the lives of marginalised communities.

Mother's Heart is a dedicated local organisation in Cambodia, uniquely positioned as the first and only organisation offering a vital lifeline to women and girls facing crisis pregnancies. Operating from our program offices in Phnom Penh and Battambang province, we provide compassionate care, essential medical help, and a range of support services through our Crisis Pregnancy Counselling and Pregnancy Support Programs. Our aim is to empower these courageous women and girls, equipping them to navigate their challenges and build a more hopeful future for themselves and their children.
A core value at Mother's Heart is preventing the separation of children from their families. We are committed to ensuring every child is nurtured within their own family, their extended family, or, when necessary, placed in safe and loving foster care.
Collaboration is crucial to our success. Alongside the families we serve, we partner with government ministries, local authorities, and other organizations, including Christian NGOs, to broaden our reach and maximize our impact.
Since 2020, Tearfund has partnered with Nungalinya College to develop a course for First Nations Christian leaders from remote communities in the Northern Territory. This course, called Faith and Family Wellbeing, was a response to experiences of students living in their communities and the challenges they face living as Christians and leaders.
The structure of the course was designed in consultation with community leaders. Participants in the course come in groups from a number of remote communities across the Northern Territory, and over time the number of students from each community has grown.
The Faith and Family Wellbeing course equips participants to respond to issues of domestic and family violence and trauma through a lens of Wellbeing. This is part of Nungalinya’s ‘Standing Strong’ suite of courses – staying strong in our faith, strong in our family and strong in our wellbeing.
The course is based on core Christian truths of: being made in God’s image, living with hope in a fallen world, and being called to care for others in love. It offers practical application to real-life experiences and encourages culturally appropriate faith and behaviour responses for Christian living in their context.
