Meet Our Children

Meet the Children of World Villages for Children and Witness Lives Transformed

For children living in poverty, education is often a luxury. Many are forced to leave school to help support their families. But through your generous support of Sisters of Mary World Villages for Children, these children receive a life-changing opportunity—education, safe shelter, nutritious meals, and the chance to build a brighter future.

Meet the children of World Villages for Children and know their powerful and inspiring stories in their own words. See how your donations are breaking the cycle of poverty and creating lasting change.
