Centers for At-Risk Children—A Ministry of Prevention and Nurture

Mission to Children provides a way for caring and compassionate people like you to reach out to impoverished children. For $25 a month, a ministry center can rescue one child in the Philippines, Costa Rica, India, El Salvador, or Haiti from neglect and provide a transforming source of physical, educational and Biblical nourishment. The workers involved with each program are passionate about nurturing each child not only physically and educationally, but also with spiritual freedom through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

For many years MTC has helped needy children in various children’s homes as groups rather than as individually sponsored children. One such facility is the Crippled Children’s Home in Kenya. In 1979 Mission To Children helped establish this childcare center to care for Maasai children with mobility problems. This is an ongoing MTC ministry.

Another example is a group of children’s homes in western Romania. Our ministry partners rescue children from the streets and provide a loving climate in small homes. Each home has eight to ten children and Christian “surrogate parents,” to approximate an actual family setting. MTC recently helped purchase a van to meet transportation needs for these children. We continue to stand with them and help in various ways.

If you want to help at-risk children in a particular region but need to avoid the rigidity of a fixed monthly or annual gift of a specific amount—as is required for sponsoring an individual child—would you consider contributing to a center for at-risk children? In either case, the children will be cared for because we feed and care for each child whether individually sponsored or not. However, gifts supporting a center for at-risk children may be contributed at a schedule and in amounts that are much more flexible for you. Although the individual gifts of our MTC family may vary from month to month, our combined giving can still enable continuous care for the children.
