Mission: Salesian Missions, collaborates with Salesian Missionaries in over 130 countries throughout the world and helps provide for the material and spiritual needs of poor and abandoned individuals, especially the young.
We inform the public in the United States of the global work carried out by the missionaries and of the needs they encounter while serving the young and needy. We receive donations from private citizens, corporations, government agencies, and foundations to support development projects which not only advance individuals, but also communities. We encourage and promote a prayer apostolate for the needs of our donors, their families, and those working in the educative pastoral works in the missions.
We seek not only to assist poor youth but to protect them and teach them how to help themselves through technical training and education. We seek to form the whole person stressing the need for the integration of the physical, psychological, moral and spiritual dimensions of individuals.

A great organization making a true difference in the world. Talented, dedicated and compassionate professionals who truly care and are great stewards of the gifts they receive.
Salesian Missions has provided support in many areas throughout the world where help is desperately needed. We are so impressed with the difference they have made in bringing happiness to those who sometimes find it hard to smile. They have truly done God’s work by helping those who have asked for their prayers to be answered!
I have worked with the Salesian Missions on their audit committee for several years. With each passing year my respect for the organization grows. The staff and management have demonstrated a determined quiet commitment to their many causes. Their attention to making sure that the organization meets and exceeds all regulations shows their professionalism.
I am an independent contractor who has and is blessed to work with Salesian Missions. To a person, everyone who works for Salesian Missions is so incredibly passionate about and dedicated to their work around the world in providing education, health, clean water, and a better life to poor children. I believe their services cover some 132 countries. It is stimulating and very motivating to always do the best we can to support the Salesian Missions efforts. I feel I am a better person knowing that there are real people making a difference in the lives of others lass fortunate than we. This surely helps bring our world together, and God knows, we need this. God bless everyone at Salesian for their belief in the world's youth!
