trip is to provide adoptees from El Salvador with the opportunity to get
to know their culture and their heritage, to live and work in the orphanages
of the country, and to provide the children in the orphanage with medical

CFC will be collecting donations for the children, all of which will be hand carried to the orphanages. Watch this site for a list of needs.

Opening Doors is a sponsorship program to help educate teen-age girls from the Children’s Homes in El Salvador
“You can give a hungry man a fish to eat or you can teach him how to fish.”
In El Salvador more than 2700 children are living in government-funded children’s homes. When these children complete the eighth grade they are expected to support themselves and live independently. Public education is no longer available to them. Entering society without skills or training they often end up on the streets.
Concern for Children has developed a sponsorship program to help educate and provide career training for these young girls. Concern for Children, a non-profit charitable organization based in Northeast Ohio, has worked for more than 25 years with the orphanages in El Salvador. The all-volunteer organization provides donations and financial aid and supports a milk purchase program for the infants and toddlers. It has arranged U.S. medical treatment for Salvadoran children with serious medical problems. Four service projects and medical missions have sent more than 200 young adult adoptees, their families, and medical workers to El Salvador to work in the orphanages.
Families, churches, schools, organizations now have an opportunity to sponsor a young girl in El Salvador so that she may continue to attend school and receive career training. Sponsors will have written contact with their students. Sponsorship is $50 a month and 100% goes to pay student educational expenses. If you would like to sponsor a young girl send an e-mail to info@concernforchildren.org.
