Give Them a Future and a Hope
Rooted in the love of Christ, Abode for Children provides orphaned and impoverished children with a safe home, Catholic education, and faith formation that transforms lives for generations.
More Than a Home,
Transforming Lives Through Christ
Every child is worthy of love and deserves the opportunity to flourish. Our name, Abode, reflects this belief that every child deserves a place to belong – not only a roof over their head, but a community rooted in faith, dignity, and love. By providing a safe, loving home and faith-filled education, we help vulnerable children grow into faithful, compassionate, and self-reliant adults.
Change a Child’s Life.
Be Changed in Return.
Sponsorship is more than a monthly donation. It forms a relationship rooted in prayer, encouragement, and hope.
Your monthly sponsorship provides food, shelter, education, and faith formation to a child in India. You’ll receive letters, photos, and updates from your sponsored child and begin building a real relationship with them. Many sponsors say the experience becomes one of the most meaningful relationships in their lives.
How Sponsorship Works
1
Prayerfully choose a child to sponsor.
Browse the children waiting for a sponsor and learn about their interests, personality, and story. Prayerfully choose the child you feel called to support.
2
Receive photos, updates, and letters.
As a sponsor, you'll receive letters, photos, and updates throughout the year, giving you a glimpse into your child's life and growth. You're also encouraged to write to your sponsored child, offering prayers and words of encouragement.
3
Watch your child grow in faith and education.
Your sponsorship provides a loving home, a Catholic education, and a foundation of faith while creating a meaningful connection across the world. As your child grows, you'll witness the lasting impact of your generosity and prayers.
Living Our Catholic Christian Faith
At Abode for Children, our mission flows from the belief that every person is created in the image and likeness of God and possesses inherent dignity. Rooted in the rich tradition of Catholic Social Teaching, we serve each child with love, compassion, and respect. Through a loving home, Catholic education, and faith formation, we help children discover their God-given purpose and the hope found in Christ.
100% of sponsorship dollars go to feed, clothe, house, and educate children in a Catholic Christian environment.
Meet Today’s Needs
In addition to ongoing sponsorships, there are always practical needs that directly impact the lives of the children and schools we serve. Your generosity helps provide safe, beautiful, and joyful places for children to live and learn.
Mission Support Fund
Your gift supports the essential functions that make our mission possible and helps us address unexpected needs. It ensures that we can continue to provide for the general needs of our campus and respond to any challenges that arise so we can continue to care for the children entrusted to us.
Urgent Relief Fund
Help us meet future unexpected, emergent needs, including natural disasters affecting our campus and the surrounding villages. This region of India has been impacted by cyclones, floods, tsunamis, fires, and more. Having reserves for these needs enables us to respond quickly when emergencies occur.
Campus Repair & Maintenance Fund
Keep our orphanages and school buildings safe and comfortable for our children by addressing needed repairs and replacements of necessary equipment and furniture.
New Desk Fundraiser
Provide a safe space for children to learn and grow by helping us replace the decades-old desks at our schools. One new desk costs just $80, and any size gift makes a difference.
Transportation Fund
Help ensure our children have safe, reliable transportation to school, field trips, and other activities.
Celebration Fund
Provide celebrations for special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas, including special meals, celebrations, and joyful moments for children who rarely experience them.
