An international charity providing care, relief, development, education and other programmes for some of the world's neediest children and young people. Working directly through reliable local staff and partner agencies Global Care seeks to provide:
- Local community centres incorporating activities such as after school homework clubs, youth groups and play and learn activities.
- Homes for orphaned children who have never experienced a loving family.
- Shelters for the abused, nutrition and health care to the weak and vulnerable, education and vocational training.
- Justice for those that cannot be heard.
Ramesh (13) lives in a poor area of Sri Lanka with his father, grandmother and 2 sisters. His mother left the family when he was younger. His father is a fisherman but cannot afford to send Ramesh to school. Ramesh is sponsored through Global Care to attend the Morning Star School where he can receive an education. He enjoys school because it gives him hope for a better future.
Help us to give a hope and a future to the forgotten children around the world.

About Cancer Research UK
We pioneer life-saving research to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
From our volunteers and supporters to our scientists, doctors and nurses, we're all here to save more lives by preventing, controlling and curing all cancers. Together, we're leading the world in discovering and developing newer, kinder treatments and getting closer to cures. As a result we've helped double survival rates in just 40 years.
But we can't stop there. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and this statistic is getting worse. We don't receive Government funding for our research, so every step towards beating cancer relies on every pound donated. Research saves lives and our work is critical to ensuring more people beat this devastating disease.
Sooner or later we will find a way to cure all cancers. Let's make it sooner
