who we are

Our mission at Sozo Children is to empower vulnerable children to become thriving leaders.

the vision

All children thriving. All communities transformed.

How We Got started

Taking "Sozo" from the Greek term for "to rescue," we created a dedicated family-style home to provide children with a safe, functional, and suitable place to live and thrive.

Our STory

Sozo Children was founded on May 13, 2010, out of an urgent need to care for neglected children in Uganda. When two missionaries discovered a group of children in dire need of care, they took action. In just ten days, and with help from local Ugandan leaders, the original seventeen Sozo Children were provided with a roof over their heads, clean clothes, and hope for the future.

Testimonials A sponsor’s thoughts

“In the letters, they both shared their accomplishments which I always love hearing but they both shared their struggles and asked me to pray for them. Their struggles are truly unimaginable to me. What an honor it is for me that they would ask me to pray for them!“

Amiee Reeves

Child Sponsor

“I realized the work of Sozo was not just worthwhile, but necessary… it’s literally life or death. I’m not naïve about who provides.”

Mike Means

Monthly Giver

“Having a sponsor through Sozo is such a blessing because not everyone gets this chance. Where would I be if I had no sponsor or sozo moms and dads to support, love and care for me? Because of them, I am able to go to school, get medical care, and feel truly loved.”
