Stories from the Field

Our partners at Help the Children International (HTCI) say:

“HTCI offers support to help impoverished and at-risk families and children stay together. Of the many highlights of our work (mentoring, life-skills training, community center programs, child sponsorship) are the number of at-risk children who remain with their mothers instead of being sent to orphanages and how God has provided even in situations that looked desperate—He provided exactly the resources to help us continue our work.  As a result of the care given both physically and spiritually, many families and children from the HTCI programs attend local churches.” 

More About Help the Children

Help the Children International (HTCI) is an organization directed by our Mission Partner, Ana Dovgaliuc. HTCI works in cooperation with the local government to provide social assistance and support services for orphans, vulnerable children, and families. Through assessment, mentoring, intervention and practical assistance, HTCI endeavors to keep the family unit intact and in the home. The HTCI Community Centers provide safe places where vulnerable children and teens can receive hot meals, tutoring, mentoring, life skills training, and experience Christ’s love. HTCI provides stipends, clothing, shelter, and educational support.

Our Partnership

Summit Missions International has actively invested in the work of Help the Children International since it was founded in 2006. Our short-term teams have assisted with humanitarian and educational products, construction, and repair services on homes of families at risk, as well as educational and recreational opportunities for HTCI children and teens.
