OUR CONCERN

 

All over the United States , there are children living below the poverty level. The heart breaking photos we see on the television of third world countries of hungry children and poor living conditions are harsh realities for some neighborhoods not far from you. Some of these children are often times living with single parents who are working two jobs to provide their basic survival needs (food, clothing and shelter). While the parents are working to make ends meet, these children are sometimes left to care for themselves. Too many of them depend on the meals from the school cafeteria and the guidance and attention of adults from the school and local community centers for higher level needs ( self-actualization, esteem and belonging). These unfortunate situations oftentimes negatively influence the child’s ability to be a productive, focused student with dreams they view as a reality in their future. Without aspiring dreams and hopes, they struggle with being  a  positive member of their community.

 

 

                 OUR MISSION

 

The mission of Save Our Children Movement Inc. is to provide some of the basic needs of children in, but not limited to, the low income areas, including food, clothing and meaningful, supportive and encouraging relationships.In addition, we want to foster individual and community empowerment.

 

                VISION

We hope to create a safe environment in which the children establish productive relationships and a positive sense of self. Secondarily, we want to foster individual and community empowerment
