The 2025 World Weekend of Prayer for vulnerable children.

The 2025 World Weekend of Prayer for vulnerable children unites hundreds of thousands of children and adults across the world in prayer. This is the 29th campaign initiated by Viva, an international charity whose vision is for all children to be safe, thriving and learning – and living life in all its fullness.

The WWP will take place the weekend  6th, 7th and 8th of June with the theme  based on “Fullness of Life for All Children” There are four basic requirements which are needed for children to enjoy fullness of life:  

• O have basic provisions such as food, clothing, medicine, documents and whatever else is necessary for life maintenance;

• To receive protection against possible threats;

• To feel that they belong to a community where they are recognized as an integral and important part of the group;

• And, to have opportunities to grow in a holistic way, involving physical, emotional and spiritual aspects.

Rede Mãos Dadas -- a Brazilian network of 60 organizations dedicated to a well thought out Christian response for the problems faced by vulnerable children -- has promoted the prayer movement in the country since 2003. 

Happy Child International will partner with Rede Mãos Dadas by inviting people in the United Kingdom to pray for the young people of Recife. To that effect, we are joining an effort to hear what the young mums from one of our partner projects are asking prayer for. You are invited to visit this website, choose ONE young mum, read her requests for prayer and then LEAVE A PRAYER in writing that will be delivered to them in person! 

➔ Access the website here and leave your prayer!

This is a unique opportunity to listen to the heart of a young mum, on the other side of the world, whose life circumstances are so far from your own, and yet, discover their hopes and dreams. You will bless them with your prayer, they will bless you with their uniqueness and (in most cases) zest for life.
