Joy and gratefulness should accompany with the birth of each child. Care, love, and education are supposed to be rights that every child may enjoy. However, hundreds of millions of children must fight against the odds of various types of risk, illness, poverty and exploitation from birth. These poor children have become helpless among the frequent natural disasters and wars.
Causes of poverty are very complicated. In order to better serve the needs of the children, help them rid all yokes and grow freely in a safe and healthy environment, CEDAR’s “Join Hands Join Hearts” Monthly Donation Programme supports community based programs in Asian and African developing countries, helping raise the living standard and transform the lives of these children, their families and their communities.

Features of Our Work
Community based
To provide children with protection, foster care and capacity for growth through improving the lives of poor children, their families and communities, in order to ensure holistic development in the children and bring more sustainable and in-depth transformation to the children’s lives.
Holistic care
The Gospel of Jesus is holistic, concerning both the soul and the body. Christian integral mission consists of both the proclamation and practice of the Gospel. Therefore, CEDAR and our partners emphasise holistic care and aim at serving the needs of body, spirit and soul of each child.
