Jan-Feb 2024 Trip

The need for foster families is ES is great. We believe it is better for a child to be in a loving, safe family environment where he can receive a 1-on-1 attention to his physical, spiritual and emotional needs, rather than an orphanage. This is why we spent Jan-Feb 2024 trying to make Christian families conscientious of this need by speaking at multiple small groups and carrying on informational meetings after each service.

Recruiting Substitute Families

One of our biggest efforts is to work with local Salvadorean churches to seek for Godly families to intake abused/abandoned children in their home. This is a PRIME opportunity for the local church to disciple these children and point them to Christ.

Certification Process

After filing our application, each family has to go through a government training provided by the local Child Protection System (ISNA). Once certified as a Substitute family, they’re ready to receive a child.
