hristian girls in can be kidnapped, raped, forcibly converted to Islam and forced to marry Muslim men.
These are the extreme cases. But many Christian children around the world face hostility and injustice, even at school. Because they are part of a despised minority, they are sometimes even deliberately failed in exams. Their parents are too marginalised and poor to send their children to Christian schools.
Thanks to Barnabas Fund, over 6,500 persecuted Christian children are able to study in a safe and loving environment where they are encouraged in their faith.
You can help a Christian child learn in a caring and supportive Christian environment through our School-Place Sponsorship Programme.

Sponsors who give regularly will receive a card with a photo and personal information about one Christian child. Please pray for this little brother or sister in Christ. You will also receive a twice-yearly newsletter about the project.
Please note that personal correspondence and visits will not be possible because of security problems
in many contexts. Also we aim to keep the administration costs as low as possible so as to pass on the
maximum available funds to the schools.
