About Us

Who We Are

His Children (Sus Hijos) is a registered NGO (nonprofit / 501 C-3) created to help children and adolescents in the government and private orphanages in El Salvador. We implement projects to reunite families and show them the love and grace of God. We provide humanitarian aid to communities, families, and the Salvadoran people through projects and activities.

Impact Areas

The project began in 2012, as one of the projects for Sus Hijos / His Children Foundation, supporting young adults and teenagers from both public and private children protection centers across El Salvador. When these teenagers turn eighteen, they are required to leave the centers where they have been most of their lives, forcing them into independence and a reality very different from what they are used to.

We work with the major orphanages in El Salvador, like CISNA, San Martin (Special Needs), San Vicente de Paul, Guirola and many more centers, both public and private. We share the word of God with them, we do fun activities, sometimes we even get to take them out on a fun trip to places like the beach, bowling, movies or whatever we know they will like.

This is our biggest program so far, is a culinary school which includes States Diner restaurant, States Bakes Bakery, States Cafe Cafeteria that allow us to provide a job and most of the times a first job experience for these young boys and girls between the ages of 18 to 22 at risk who aged out of ISNA care (government institution)that are interested in culinary skills.

The cosmetology school project, born in the heart of our founder, was named to honor his mother’s salon: “You’re someone special” in Hampton, Virginia and was named after the phrase she always used when evangelizing.

This project teaches 6 different foster care centers. They receive classes throughout the week in 8 different classes, depending on the level of practice they have. They start from the very basics from how to use a hairdryer, wash hair, cut hair to a lot more.

We provide a wood House or a concrete House for a family at risk of separating; when the government determines that a family doesn’t meet the minimum criteria for good living conditions for the Child, he or she is considered to be taken away from their family to live in the orphanages.

We build houses thanks to the donations we receive from our donors, which God has always used to bless these lives.

Our foundation prepares different events during the whole year, one day we would be making animal balloons with the kids or another day we would be all dressing up to celebrate a special moment. While most of these events are for the orphans in the centers, we would also have special celebrations for specific times of the year where we would have the States Diner restaurant prepare something special for its customers.

Many of the activities we do with the children’s centers are done at juvenile prisons, including Bible study.

We also volunteer with organizations working with reformed gang members.

It is our desire to see this ministry nourish not only the physical needs, but the spiritual needs of those who are often forgotten. Many of these are children who have run away or have reached the limit age to remain in the government centers.

We feed around 200 people in a run – everyone on the streets including prostitutes, children, and individuals facing addiction.

So, you have a Church, Organization or group of friends that you want to bring to El Salvador? Or you have been praying about being a short-term missionary? We always can use medical missions and any other skill you may have to work with the communities and orphanages where we serve.
