Years of Impact

Our Journey

Our Story

Founded in 2009 by Sarah Jenkins, Charis Children Ministry began as a small community outreach program in a single neighborhood. What started as a mission to provide weekend meals for twenty children has blossomed into a multi-national effort supporting thousands.

Over the last 15 years, we have seen first-hand how a combination of stable nutrition, consistent education, and spiritual grounding can break the cycle of poverty. Our history is written in the success stories of our first graduates, many of whom are now returning as volunteers to give back to the ministry that raised them.

Today, we operate in four countries, managing schools, medical clinics, and community centers, all while maintaining the same heart for the individual child that we had on day one.

How We Work

Our Approach

We don't believe in band-aid solutions. Our methodology focuses on three pillars of sustainable transformation.

Children in classroom

Holistic Education

We provide more than just textbooks; we offer life-skills training and creative arts to foster well-rounded thinkers.

Medical clinic

Health & Nutrition

Physical health is the foundation of growth. We provide daily balanced meals and regular health check-ups for all our students.

Community gathering

Community Empowerment

We work with parents and local leaders to create a supportive ecosystem that sustains progress long after our direct involvement.
