Indeed, there are vulnerable children everywhere – many of which live right in our own communities. The 25 Project does partner in outreach and ministry efforts to local children and families through Melissa Community Outreach (25project.org/MCO).
However, the 25 Project has chosen to focus our ministry efforts internationally, as we find that children in developing countries are especially vulnerable due to the economic and political instability they and their families often face. In many of the countries where 25 Project serves, there are few thriving churches or widespread knowledge of the Gospel, making the need to bring the hope of Jesus to these children and communities all the more urgent.
