All around the world children are at risk. Some have to live on the streets, others have to work long hours in dangerous conditions. Some have to flee their homes because of war, others can’t go to school or get life-saving healthcare. Children are really precious to God – so they’re important in Tearfund’s work too.

This is Teresa. Her chicken is called Polli!

Teresa’s mum is in prison, so she lives at the Restoration House, run by Mosoj Jan in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Djemila (say her name Jamilla) goes to school in Ouagadougou (say it Wa-ga-doo-goo). It's the capital of Burkina Faso, in West Africa.

Have you ever heard the parable of the lost sheep?

You can find it in Matthew 18:12-14. Jesus is like the man who searches everywhere for the one sheep who is lost. He loves children who are in danger or difficult situations. He loves you too. You can make a difference for Children at Risk all around the world by praying for them. Ask God to help them now.
