Go Somewhere. Be a Voice. Do Something.
Today there are more than 143 million orphans around the globe. Children without a voice. Children who need love.
Buckner International, a global Christian ministry based in Dallas, Texas, seeks justice for 'the least of these' by providing care and resources for orphans and at-risk children in the United States and more than 50 countries around the world.
Through international orphanage support, humanitarian aid, short-term missions, foster care and adoption, Buckner has made a lasting impact in some of the world's most poverty-stricken and socially desperate countries.
For more than 128 years, Buckner has been a progressive leader in the movement towards justice for orphans and widows. Today,
Buckner works in an advisory role with many international governments to educate leaders on children's issues and create new legislature ensuring lasting changes for at-risk children.

New Shoes are Good for the Soul.
Yours and theirs.
Shoes for Orphan Souls remains Buckner's largest humanitarian aid project, collecting more than 1.6 million pairs of new shoes for orphans and at-risk children since its inception in 1999. Since shoes are a constant need among orphans worldwide, the project has provided a gateway for Buckner to move into many new countries to help implement lasting change for children. It also provides many orphans with the opportunity to learn about Christ's love as individual volunteers travel to place shoes on their feet and share the message of hope.
