Coronavirus Update:
Please know of our continued efforts to provide for the boys and girls around the world who are in our programs. During this time of uncertainty, it is our priority to keep these children safe and healthy.
Thank you for your ongoing support, especially during this time of upheaval and health concerns around the world.
Who We Are.
World Villages for Children is a nonprofit providing financial support to the charity programs of the Sisters of Mary.
Thanks to our supporters, the Sisters of Mary provide food, care and education for more than 20,000 children in seven countries. These children are among the most marginalized and vulnerable. Our Villages – also referred to as Boystowns and Girlstowns – provide our children with a fully accredited in-house education program and vocational training. In Guatemala, Korea, and Brazil, the Sisters of Mary also run medical clinics and hospitals where they care for the poor.
To date, World Villages for Children has helped 150,000 children and their families break free from a life of poverty.

This is the secret of constant joy: Unselfishness, which means love. You must be unselfish to practice charity. You must go out to others and think of them. " - Venerable Father Aloysius Schwartz, Founder of World Villages for Children
