Overseas Child Sponsorship

Join our community of compassionate world changers committed to children rising above poverty and into a full and dignified life.

Hey, world changer

We partner with people like you who are committed to helping children live a life free from poverty through a sponsorship model that supports the holistic development of children from poor communities. Our schools, children's homes and after-school programs ensure children have the opportunity to reach their full potential and become agents of transformation in their own communities. 

We believe every child deserves quality care, education, spiritual and financial support through their formative years, and we need your help to succeed. Here's how:

 

Partner with a Salvation Army school, children's home or community center serving children from poor communities.

 

Provide a $25 monthly sponsorship to directly support the physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of children.

 

Help children reach their full potential and become agents of transformation in their own communities.

As A Sponsor, You Can Support A Cause You Believe In.

Whether you are passionate about protecting child victims of trafficking, ensuring children with disabilities receive quality education, or providing food, clothing and shelter to children who lack access to their basic needs, we need partners like you to help us provide essential services to children in need by sponsoring work that is important to you. Select a cause near to your heart or view a full list of our centers reaching children with the greatest needs.

Children's Center Highlight

Casa Hogar Children's Home - Mazatlán, Mexico

Casa Hogar started in 1965. Hogar is the Spanish word for home, and the home atmosphere is very important. Here the children find new family. The children are placed through Social Services, and often come from extremely difficult situations. However, with time they find healing and even happiness. The maximum occupancy for the home is 30 children, with separate dorms for boys and girls.

Education is emphasized at Casa Hogar. This is very important, as Mexico does not have strict consequences for failing to send your child to school, and many children don’t attend at all or drop out at an early age. For children at Casa Hogar, school and homework time are integral parts of their day. They are always learning new skills such as English, embroidery, cooking or sewing. Apprenticeships are encouraged for older children. One boy had an apprenticeship at a local solar panel company.

Sports and music are vital parts of life at Casa Hogar. The children learn instruments and their native dances. They perform concerts in the community, which builds their self-esteem and raises funds for the home.

The center has a psychologist and social worker. The youth meet with them both and become stronger emotionally, socially, and mentally. Spiritual support is provided by The Salvation Army Officers at the home, as they learn Bible truths and are encouraged to make good choices for a positive life.

It is financially challenging to provide all the staff, nutritious food, transportation, and health care, as well as the developmental and recreational experiences that the children need. Therefore, we are seeking multiple sponsors for Casa Hogar. They are currently in need of a vehicle for the home, and we hope to do a small project for that. Perhaps you would like to do a one-time donation toward that project.

Please view the link for a video about Casa Hogar. Watch to the end, for a resounding thank you from the children! Thank you for considering sponsorship.

At The Salvation Army, We Know What It Takes To Do Good.

Like you, we believe every child deserves to experience a full and dignified life. That's why advocating for the rights of children has been an integral part of our ministry since the beginning of The Salvation Army history. Now with over 150 years of serving those with the greatest needs, The Salvation Army has provided thousands of children with holistic care in our children's homes, schools, and child development centers operating in the most impoverished communities around the globe. Join us as we seek a world where every child can thrive.
