For Rani, Christmas was never special.
Home was not a happy place. Her father’s alcohol addiction made her angry and it hardened her heart.
Then one December, Rani’s life began to change.
She was invited to a Viva Christmas Party at her local church where she ate a meal, played games, made friends and heard about the first Christmas.
Rani started to attend church and became more gentle and loving – and so did her father.
He overcame his addiction and family life is now good.Christmas is now a time of celebration for
Rani’s family.
A Viva Christmas Party gives a child joy for a day and support for years to come.
7 out of 10 children are not currently being helped by one of our partner networks.
Each year, about 7,500 new children are
introduced to programmes which can
give them practical help and support.
Stories, games and puppet shows carry positive messages to empower children.
The party showcases the network and influences parents, caregivers, teachers and local policymakers.
But it all starts with a Christmas Party.
Not theirs but yours.
By hosting a fun party amongst your family and friends, you can help us transform the lives of more children this Christmas and into the future.
It costs around £5 for a child to attend a Party.
That’s just the price of a couple of coffees!
This Christmas, could you host your own party and bring hope to vulnerable children?
