Doninu (Malta) International has also felt the calling to support children beyond our shores. For this reason, a new section—Doninu (Uganda) International—has been established. This branch is dedicated to helping vulnerable children and working in collaboration with other international organisations to End Child Poverty.
In these regions, children face nothing but crime and abuse. If we truly want a world built on peace and love, we as human beings must take the responsibility to work for it ourselves.
