Sozo children international exists to empower vulnerable children to become thriving leaders for jesus christ.

Programs

3 programs

In an effort to invest in all children in need, sozo children partners with families who might not be able to send their children to school or provide medical care. This partnership allows children to continue living with their families, but have the opportunity to receive an education. This partnership is not to enable, but equip children to be future leaders in their communities. Also, this partnership ensures children are receiving adequate medical care so they can continue in school and lead healthy lives. Sozo strives for children to be in relationship with their family and further provide education and medical care for the severely disadvantaged.

Expenses: $127K

Sozo children sends short-term and mid-term volunteers to developing countries to help long-term efforts in breaking the cycle of poverty. Sozo partners with 1ocal leaders and like-minded ministries to further development work in impoverished communities and the empowerment of individuals. To create change, sozo strives to empower national individuals to lead these efforts.
