The Homes
A Mama, siblings and a place to belong.
Each Family Home is led by a widow, a "Mama," who opens her home to raise orphaned children as her own.
One Mama. Brothers and sisters. A family for life.
Boys and girls grow up together as siblings, sharing meals, chores, prayers and birthdays under one roof. Family Homes are for children who cannot be reintegrated with relatives or placed for adoption, so instead of an institution, they grow up in a family that is theirs for life.

Brothers & sisters

For life
Not a temporary placement. Children stay in their family through childhood and into adulthood.

FAQ
Questions about sponsorship.
