Children in Distress

Our Work

The initial foundation support of Children in Distress was within the Anglican Communion. Today it has broad based support but as relatively new charity we are dependent on the generosity and support of individuals to save and change lives.

The Charity is dedicated to helping suffering children in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. We work with the sick, the incurably and terminally ill, those with HIV AIDS, the physically handicapped and those who face a daily challenge for life as result of accident, infection, genetic or birth defects, those who daily discimination, the socially excluded, the desperate and disadvantaged children and families, the poorest of the poor.

Since our first aid transports rolled out in 1990, our care teams have cared for children in Albania, Belarus, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Romania and the other emergent states of the former Yugoslav Republic.

We care for children in the very worst circumstances “Europe’s Forgotten Children” and as our mission statement makes clear our role it - To cure, sometimes; to help, often; to comfort, always. We would like your help; we would like you to be part of our family of care Do you want to help one of Europe's forgotten children?
