Update from International Justice Mission (IJM)
Andy Bevan, Scotland Director for International Justice Mission (IJM), provides an update on how IJM is managing in light of the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, IJM’s Lucille Dejito shares on the work the Souter Charitable Trust is making possible in the Philippines. IJM’s work in the Philippines comes alongside the issue of Online Sexual Exploitation of Children. During lockdown, IJM has witnessed an increase in this form violence but this has been matched by IJM’s creativity and an unprecedented number of operations and children rescued. The work of justice goes on despite the challenges our world is facing and IJM is extremely grateful to stand alongside the Souter Charitable Trust in this fight.

New Commitment agreed with Mary's Meals
The Souter Charitable Trust have entered into a new 3 year commitment with Mary's Meals.
30/06/2020
The work of Mary’s Meals is beautifully simple; the charity provides one good meal every day for hungry children at school in 19 of the world’s poorest countries. The promise of these life-changing meals attracts children to the classroom where, instead of working or begging for food, they can gain an education that will one day be their ladder out of poverty. Where Mary’s Meals are provided there is a rise in rates of enrolment, attendance and academic performance, and children are happier too. It costs just £15.90 to feed a child with Mary’s Meals every school day for an entire year.
