8 more greenhouses! Thank you QSI Shenzhen

At Captivating, we love it when whole communities get excited about helping other communities. The teachers, students and families of QSI Shenzhen have done just that. With creative fundraising ideas and a lot of community spirit, QSI students and staff were able to raise RMB12,000 (US$1,700). These funds will enable us to bring hope to impoverished families in Western China through Greenhouses.


CHINA | HEALTHY VILLAGE PROGRAM

Healthcare comes to Chuma

These women however, are strong and determined to take care of their families. When they heard that a doctor and medicine was coming to the village the word spread quickly and hundreds of women and children and even some men turned up to attend several days of health training, free medical examination, medicines and critical health information – telling the dangers of STDs, explaining best ways to care for babies and how to manage women’s health. So much of this was new information to these families and has changed many lives.


CHINA | SOLAR PANELS

Bringing light and warmth to 90 families

Families in Western China need to have a fire every day simply to survive. With 7 months of the year experiencing temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, keeping warm is of high priority. The fire needs to keep burning all night. This means a whole lot of timber is needed and a whole lot of smoke is inhaled each and every night.


CAPTIVATING FOSTER FAMILY LOANS PROGRAMS | KENYA

A new year and a new future

We believe by addressing the poverty of families either currently fostering a child, or families willing to do so if they had greater capacity, we will see a direct impact in the lives of many of these orphans.
To date we have 222 orphans currently being supported by this program.
