Christian World Service
Christian World Service – “Sustainable Solar Energy for the Solomon Islands"
Through an alliance with Uniting World Australia, this project will transform energy access in remote communities in Choiseul and Malaita Provinces in the Solomon Islands by installing approximately 140kW of solar systems on schools, health centres and churches uses as evacuation centres, or for community events, education and health programmes.

The Bible Society
Bibles For Suffering Children
In Ghana, even though more than 70 per cent of the population identify as Christian, many children are growing up without access to the Bible. The Bible Society of Ghana is helping to change this by placing Bibles into the hands of primary school children aged six to fourteen.
This Bible distribution and engagement programme is nurturing a love for Scripture at a formative stage of life, helping children build a strong spiritual foundation that can guide them well into the future.
