We are a team of volunteers that exists to help poor children around the world. We began in 2004 with an idea to reach beyond our church, our community, and our country to follow Christ's commandments to spread God's word and to help children. We seek to serve the daily needs of disadvantaged children by building long term partnerships with Christian leaders in other countries who have exhibited full-time commitment to the needs of poor children.
Beyond Our Borders transforms the lives of impoverished children and their families in developing countries. Our projects nourish children in mind, body, and spirit and provide hope by enhancing their daily lives with improved sanctuary and Christian teaching.
This is our mission -- and we execute that mission by identifying and funding projects with our partners.

This picture captures the essence of the children that we serve. Most of the children are between the ages of 2 and 10 years old, but we also support some projects for teenagers. As you can see, these beautiful children must deal with daily environments that are impoverished beyond our imaginations. Usually living in favelas, or slums, or dirty city streets, our children are surrounded by poverty, deteriorating housing, garbage dumps, illegal drugs, prostitution, and violent crime. By supporting local creches (day care centers), orphanages, and faith-based outreach programs, we can help these children build the hope and character they need for a better future.
