Since the Covid-19 outbreak, our partner Compassion International has been facing the challenge of reaching vulnerable children and their families amidst lockdowns and ever-changing restrictions.

Matthew Valentine spent 14-years of his life as a detective with the New Zealand Police. Little did he know his passion for fighting crime would take him to the streets of Thailand working for an organisation fighting human trafficking. 

This year, I have decided to take up this challenge. I choose to only buy Christmas gifts that are meaningful and make a difference.

It’s not you…it’s me. Well, actually no, it is you. Tearfund's Advocacy Specialist Morgan Theakston takes us on her journey to give up shopping for a year and gives us her tips on reducing clothing consumption.

When you include a gift in your Will to Tearfund, you’re doing something extraordinary – something that will have ripple effects on future generations as you help make the world a better place for those most in need.

Whatever stirs your heart the most – whether that’s lifting families out of poverty, educating vulnerable children, or protecting people from exploitation – we promise your special gift, big or small, will be used to make the maximum possible impact in the lives of vulnerable people around the world.

A practical guide to becoming a conscious consumer is researching brands, maintaining a minimalistic wardrobe, and shopping second-hand to reduce environmental impact and support ethical practices.

Here are ten photos from our most recent Empowher event!

There’s something special about 150 women from all walks of life gathering in the same room. 

In a tiny dark concrete room in Makwanpur, Nepal sits a woman wearing a beautiful floral dress with a red shawl. Her posture and eyes reveal a palpable sense of pain. *Setimaya was just 19 when she was trafficked—30 years later, she is ready to tell her story.
