"Raising children out of poverty through housing, infrastructure, and education to provide a chance at a better life through learned skills and career opportunities."
Mission Trips
At Little Way Children’s Foundation, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream. Our mission trips connect compassionate volunteers with children being rescued from poverty and cared for through education, safe housing, nutritious food, and essential medical attention. Together, we work to break cycles of poverty and open pathways to futures filled with hope.
Where We Serve
We organize mission trips to Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Tanzania, and other communities across Africa where local partners are transforming children’s lives.
What We Do
Our teams support on-the-ground programs that help children thrive today and prepare for tomorrow. Education is central—many of the children we serve are pursuing studies that lead to meaningful careers in accounting, healthcare, technology, culinary arts, and more. During each trip, volunteers help by:
-
Providing medical and dental clinics alongside licensed professionals
-
Assisting with tutoring, enrichment activities, and children’s programs
-
Supporting community projects with skilled construction teams
-
Offering practical service wherever needs are greatest
Who Can Join
You don’t need to be a medical or construction professional to make a difference. If you have a heart to serve, you are welcome. Sometimes a warm presence—listening, encouraging, praying, and playing with the children—brings the hope they need to keep going. As volunteers, we also strive to model love, charity, family, and the dignity of work, inspiring children to imagine bright futures.
Safety & Standards
The safety of the children and our volunteers is paramount. Space is limited on each trip, and all mission participants are carefully vetted. Background checks are required for all volunteers, and professional licenses are validated for those serving in clinical or specialized roles.
