Dear Valued Partner

First, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who gave so generously toward the funeral costs and the van repairs. We’re grateful to share that both needs have been fully met. Young Bariki was laid to rest with a beautiful and dignified funeral, surrounded by love and care. Our van, which has been undergoing repairs at Los Colinas Automobile in Estepona, is now almost fully restored after a long wait for parts and several visits to the garage - a true answer to prayer!

Your kindness and generosity continue to carry this mission forward. Over the past two months, we’ve witnessed incredible stories of transformation, from children achieving educational milestones to families finding renewed hope through your support.

Our regular givers are the backbone of this mission - a powerful partnership that enables us to meet the ongoing monthly costs of keeping the Centre of Hope doors open and the MSU running. Their faithful commitment ensures that vital work continues, month after month.

✨ You can be part of this impact. Become a Regular Giver today and help us keep hope alive - every month, every life, every story.

Mobile Shower Service Update

We’re delighted to share that our Mobile Shower continues to provide essential hygiene services to those in need across Málaga and Fuengirola. Thanks to the ongoing support of our volunteers and community partners, we’re able to bring comfort, dignity, and care to individuals experiencing homelessness in these areas.

Even more exciting - we’re currently in promising discussions with the Estepona Town Hall about bringing the Mobile Shower to Estepona! This collaboration with Collective Calling aims to extend our outreach and ensure that Estepona’s homeless community also has access to this vital service.

Stay tuned for updates as we work together to make this expansion a reality. Every shower makes a difference, thank you for being part of the journey.

Education Success Story: Hope Restored Through Compassion

We’re thrilled to celebrate the remarkable achievements of four incredible children — Dati Samwel, Rahel Giligwa, Evarist Giligwa, and Merickzedeck Joachim — who have successfully completed their primary education through the generous support of Collective Calling.

Despite facing challenges such as chronic illness, mental health struggles at home, and extreme poverty, these young learners have shown extraordinary resilience and determination. Thanks to Collective Calling’s holistic support, including education sponsorships, school materials, healthcare, and emotional care, their lives have been transformed.

Their graduation marks not only an academic milestone but also a powerful testimony of hope, faith, and the impact of compassionate giving. Their success continues to inspire their families and communities, reminding us that with love and opportunity, every child can thrive.

Together, we are changing lives - one child at a time.
