Latin America is a region rich in beauty, culture, and diversity, yet it faces deep social and economic challenges that leave countless children and families vulnerable and in need of care. Many children are growing up without the stability of a family, exposed to risks such as exploitation, abuse, and neglect. While some children are eligible for adoption, many more children and families need gospel-centered care and the consistent presence of loving, supportive communities. The local church plays a vital role in responding to these needs, offering hope and restoration where it's needed most. Now more than ever, the Church has the opportunity to step in and be the difference for vulnerable children and families across Latin America.
This ministry partner focuses on caring for children as they age out of protective care, mobilizing local churches to care for the vulnerable, and strengthening at-risk families to prevent separation. Their program emphasizes preparing adolescents within the orphan care system for independent life, accompanying youth who have aged out of the system, and training orphanage personnel around the country. In addition, they are committed to promoting foster care and family reintegration within the church, as well as creating opportunities and supporting networks for young people in local and national institutions, organizations, and churches.
Staying connected is key to caring for the vulnerable. By signing up for Global Orphan Care email updates, you’ll receive updates and opportunities to pray and act—because the more we stay informed, the more we can come alongside our partners in their work of care.
