Arms Around The Child is a global charity building a better and kinder environment for children living in extreme adversity, orphaned, abandoned, at risk of child abuse – sexual or otherwise, trafficked or living in child-headed households.
Sometimes the issues of the world or issues in our own lives seem so huge or overwhelming that we can’t bear it or we may feel inadequate, but we can all participate in a kinder world for children because if not us then who?
We ask you to help create a powerful impact by refusing to turn your back on our human family and be determined to change the lives of others in less fortunate circumstances than ours. Help us to help them.
The Arms Around The Child Artist Residency in Senya Beraku, Ghana, is a dual-mission initiative dedicated to championing mid-career artists residing internationally with roots/connections to Africa and its diaspora.
Our mission is to provide a nurturing space for artistic exploration, cross-cultural exchange, and collaboration. Simultaneously, the residency serves as a vital fundraising platform for the charity Arms Around The Child.
By celebrating the rich artistic heritage of Africa and promoting innovation, we aim to make a lasting impact on the global art scene, contributing to a brighter future for children affected by poverty and adversity.
We seek to provide sanctuary, community, warmth, protection, education, healthcare, safety, family, equality, love hope and respect. With years of experience in direct care Arms Around The Child are committed to working with ‘on the ground warriors’ to help scale up, develop, train and implement programmes with dedicated organisations providing the kind of joy, love, peace and respect that children need to lead the way to a brighter future.
We appreciate your compassion and you can be assured that whatever you give will be properly utilized. You will be kept informed of the work we are doing with your kind donation by private email. The best way to support us is always monthly. It helps us spend less on fundraising and allows us to help more children.
