Group Publishing is partnering with World Vision and churches like yours in an effort to protect children from a small—but deadly—enemy. Mosquitoes. In many countries, mosquitoes carry a frightening disease called malaria, which is often fatal. Malaria is one of the deadliest diseases affecting poor children around the world. The gift of simple mosquito nets can go a long way toward keeping children safe. Plus, it’s tangible evidence that someone cares for them.

This summer Operation Kid-to-Kid is mobilizing millions of children to help provide specially treated nets to protect kids against malaria. A $10 donation helps provide a net that can protect 2 or more children for up to 4 years! At Treasured VBS, participants will partner with Group and World Vision to provide life-saving, health-preserving nets that can last up to 4 years.

Alpacas are uniquely created by God to live in the mountains of Ecuador! They help out in the garden by providing rich fertilizer for hungry plants. Their thick fur is sheared every year and provides warm clothes in the cold Andes climate. Because their feet are not hard like horse or cow hooves, they don’t compact the soil, and that’s good for farming and the environment. Alpacas help provide a critical source of income for many Ecuadorian families.

Group Publishing and World Vision are partnering with VBS kids around the world to help bring alpacas to needy families in Ecuador. Adding an alpaca to a family farm in Ecuador not only transforms the fate of the family but also helps provide jobs and resources to the entire community! Each $10 donation through Operation Kid-to-Kid helps provide life-changing livestock to Ecuadorian families.
