Volunteers in Thailand have created an English-teaching program which they have taken to over 50 schools in the four provinces of Chiangmai, Pitsanalok, Si Saket, and Petchburi. In each of these schools they distribute Activated Ministries' sponsored Grandpa Jake storybooks as an English learning aid to over 15,000 primary school students. These books are wonderful tools to help the students improve their English as well as teach them valuable character-building lessons.

Family Care Uganda was founded in 2009 as a fully self-sustained project for orphans in Gulu who were born to child soldiers during the war. They have developed a horticultural farm, housing and a school for the children, and hope to bring alternative ideas for poverty eradication to the local communities in the area. In addition to academic training and sports, the students are also taught animal husbandry and farming - allowing them to contribute to the sucess of the school and broaden their skill set.

Safe Haven for Refugees is a group of concerned individuals who have come together to provide lifelines and support for the most desperate cases of refugee families in southern Turkey - especially widows and orphans.
