WE BELIEVE IN CHANGE

El Roi’s Children is a registered Australian charity that provides scholarships and support to children in developing countries through our trusted mission partners. We make a difference by raising awareness, funds and prayer on their behalf.

To date, we have impacted over 75 lives by our school and university-based scholarships; and many more by the provision of educational resources, uniforms, furniture, food, clothing, medicine and Christmas gifts. In addition, we have supported a literacy-based program, a baby sanctuary, an orphanage, and have helped individuals and families in compromised situations. In Australia, we have been able to provide funds to needy students and families via school uniform and food and tuckshop vouchers.

Currently, we have eight school-aged children in our scholarship program, in Thailand, and we support an orphanage in South Africa.
