Volunteer Information:
We are currently booking short-term mission trips of 2 to 12 weeks in length as well as 6 to 12 week internships. We need compassionate individuals to provide hugs, read to the children, share stories, and simply be present. No special skills are required. You’ll return different, broadened, stronger and with a renewed purpose and perspective in life. Teams and individuals are welcome.
Two-week trips start at $1,280.
Donation Information:
In a country where the average person lives on less than a dollar a day, poverty is the rule not the exception. We care for more than 200 children through our child sponsorship program, providing well-balanced meals twice a day through our feeding program. It is no small feat to provide more than 400 meals daily. We need donations in any amount to ensure that we can continue to provide this life-sustaining nutrition to our children who would live on bread and water or go hungry without our intervention.
We currently have several children in our program who are unsponsored. For $1 a day, you can provide an education, food and medical support to an orphan who is desperately in need. You will have the opportunity to correspond with your child through letters. And you may even visit your child one day!
