WHO WE ARE
His Children is a registered NGO (nonprofit / 501 C-3) created to help children and adolescents in the government and private orphanages in El Salvador. We implement projects to reunite families and show them the love and grace of God. We provide humanitarian aid to communities, families and the people of El Salvador through projects and activities.
WHAT WE DO
We give hope and love to orphaned and abandoned children in the orphanages of El Salvador, we teach them how to prepare for a job, study and build a relationship with God. We focus on helping the vulnerable ones, we run transition houses for children aging out from orphanages. We feed communities and keep families together by building houses. We keep children off the streets and out of gangs. We teach others to be missionaries to the world.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that the Bible is the word of God. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died on the cross to forgive us of our sins. We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Trinity. We believe that God can do anything through prayer. We believe in Grace.
OUR HOPE
That every child that is in the orphanages and youth incarceration centers will have an education that they can build a life on and job skills that will support them and their families. That they would have healthy families both mentally and physically. That they will have a loving relationship with God. To one day, not have any orphanages or youth prisons, thus a healed generation.
OUR HISTORY
I -Kurt Ackermann- came on my first mission trip to El Salvador. We started working in San Miguel. My heart broke for the Orphaned and Abandoned children in this country. I kept coming back over the next 3 years and worked with the government and private orphanages. We still did not have a permanent impact only short term, because no one was here in El Salvador to oversee the projects.

Our family moved to El Salvador and make a permanent change in our programs.
Since our moving here as a family, we have consistently worked with the government trying to make the lives of the Children better here in the country working with ISNA. By improving the physical as well as spiritual lives of the children that have no one to love them.

We started building homes in the rural communities of El Salvador to make a difference in the Children’s lives who families have lost custody of their children because of poverty, to restore families and keep them together.
We started our transition house program to help children that turned 18 years old and were forced out on the streets because they had no family to go to.
We started the States Diner to give our kids work from the transition homes and government centers because they could not find stable work with below high school education. They receive full salaries and benefits.
We Started States Bakes to be able to expand the skill set of the young adults that work here at the States Diner. We have a contract with a local restaurant baking all the bread for them.
We started 2 States Café Locations with the help of the President and Mayors office to offer job training for 12 more youth ageing out of Government and private orphanages
