Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Adoption, Children & Youth, Christianity, Human Services, Religion
Mission: To care for abandoned, orphaned and at-risk children around the world and help others do the same.
Programs: Haiti - lsm works with local haitian churches to place extremely vulnerable children into permanent christian families in their own country called homes of hope. Here, they receive a full-circle continuum of care that includes their basic needs and much more-in-depth educational and vocational training as they progress through school, and future business opportunities to contribute to the success of haiti after graduation. This provides once hopeless children with the building blocks they need to reach their god-given potential so that they can transform their communities for christ.
usa program - lsm makes the adoption process less complicated and overwhelming for us individuals and couples who are in the beginning stages of international and domestic adoption. Our services are at no cost to families. Our goal is to save parents time-consuming, expensive and potentially heartbreaking hassles associated with adoption. We also educate and empower us churches and individuals to get involved with helping vulnerable children by providing church partnerships with our home of hope families in haiti, free practical resources for starting orphan care ministries, and events geared to help the church understand god's heart for vulnerable children.
ethopia - lsm works with local ethiopian churches to help the children of single mothers reach their god-given potential so that they can transform their communities for christ. By providing educational support and resources for these children as well as providing their mother with small business training, mentoring, and support through the local church, these small families are getting the transformational support they need to lead to break generational cycles of poverty and create lasting positive change in their communities.
international-lsm occasionally suppports needs that arise in other countries besides haiti, ethiopia and the united states. These instances are rare and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
