 Finding Help for 400,000 Street Children

“For some families in the Philippines, poverty is so severe that they feel it is easier to just leave their children on the

streets rather than watch them starve to death in their homes. There are families who have so many children that

the oldest sibling (seven or eight years of age) is forced to the streets to beg for the rest of the family. Some are the

illegitimate children of young mothers who were either abandoned by their families or are street-children themselves.

There is also the cruel and endless cycle of other young children who are violated, victimized, and exploited while

growing up in the streets, only to give birth and perpetuate the next generation of street children. It is a seemingly

endless cycle of hopelessness. There are approximately 400,000 street children in the city of Manila alone and

hundreds more throughout the rest of the country, but Ima’s Home for Children promises to be an oasis of hope

for these hurting and lonely children. As you read this, ask God what you can do to be a part of this great mission.”

Ima’s Home For Children opened in the summer of 2013 after several years of dreams and hard work. Currently,

there are 35+ children in the orphanage with many more ready to be rescued. Proceeds from the Ima's Home 5K Run 

are used to fund the daily operation which includes food, shelter, clothing, education, attendants and 

management for these precious children. 

We thank you for participating in this incredible endeavor of helping to save the lives of these young children. We feel there 

is no greater calling than to help the helpless children of this world. 

John 15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. KJV

Matt. 19:14  Jesus, however, said, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom from heaven belongs to people like these."  ISV
