The Quechuen Indians of Peru are descendants of
the ancient Incas. They live high up in the Andes Mountains - with some of the villages at more than 13,000
feet in elevation. Most of those villages are extremely remote and lack even basic standards of sanitation.
In many cases they don't even have indoor plumbing or a reliable source of electricity.

Many times our Christian Emergency Relief teams will encounter
people who require much more than baseline medical treatment. Because we work among the poorest populations in the world,
hospitals and surgeries are unavailable for these people. The Emergency Surgeries program dramatically improves the lives
of children and adults with life altering / saving surgeries. Click here to learn more.

Try to imagine life as a young Gypsy child,
in a poor village, in the Transylvania Mountains of Central Romania. Your family of eight lives in a small
two room house with a dirt floor, no electricity, and no indoor plumbing. During the harsh Romanian winters
the house is heated by a small stove that burns corn husks. There never seems to be enough food.

Water! One of the very substances of life covers nearly
70 % of the earth's surface and comprises nearly two thirds of our bodies. We all know the saying, "oceans of water
and not a drop to drink." We have an abundance of water all around us and yet drinkable water is another matter. This
fact is rarely more evident than in the Amazon Jungles of Northern Peru. Click here to learn more.

The Quechuas are the descendants of the Inca empire
which was conquered by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. Long before the conquest until the present, the
Quechuas live dispersed throughout the Andes mountains. We are assisting the Quechua through medical mission teams
and working with local missionaries and the Quechua pastors to help them evangelize and plant churches. Click here to learn more.

The women and girls of Afghanistan know their deliverance from poverty
lies in education. They also accept responsibility for their oppression - they
speak openly about their lack of education making it possible for the likes of
the Taleban to take control over them. They do not want it to happen again. They
know something we take for granted: Truly, "the pen is mightier than the sword."
This program supplies the women of Afghanistan with educational tools for victory
over the bondage of oppression. Click here to learn more.
