At World Villages for Children, we believe that every child – no matter where they’re born – deserves the chance to flourish.
Working alongside the Sisters of Mary, we provide nearly 21,000 children each year in the Philippines, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Honduras, and Tanzania a safe place at school, a quality education, and a future they can build on.
Not just for themselves, but for their families and communities for generations to come.

We don’t just meet immediate needs. We break cycles. When a child graduates from one of our programmes, they leave with accredited academic qualifications, practical vocational skills, and the confidence to find work and support their family.
Over 170,000 children have already done exactly that. Many go on to support their siblings’ education. Some return to teach. A few join the Sisters themselves. One life changed ripples outward in ways we can barely measure.
The Sisters of Mary have been on this mission for over 60 years, inspired by the conviction that every child carries infinite worth. We believe that too. The Sisters believe that people like you – Christians working faithfully in every corner of society – are exactly who God might use to reach the children the world has forgotten.
