Strengthening vulnerable children and families around the world
When parents are supported and equipped to pursue a better future, children grow up safer, healthier, stronger, and more confident.
God’s design is for families to be together...
But sex trafficking, extreme poverty, educational disparity, famine, drought, disease, or war can threaten to break them apart—making children vulnerable to further harm. That’s why Buckner International collaborates with local leaders to build sustainable programs designed to strengthen families and proactively prevent poverty, abuse, and neglect.
Since our founding in 1879, we have not wavered from our original mission: caring for vulnerable children. When parents are supported, they can break generational cycles and build a brighter future for their children.
Family focused
God designed families to be together. That’s why all Buckner programs are family focused and child centered. When children flourish, families flourish and, in turn, the entire community thrives.
Needs driven
The needs and cultural context of each country drives our programming—so we can be as effective as possible in sustainably strengthening families and children.
Locally led
Just like our programs across Texas, Buckner’s international missions are led by the community for the community. We collaborate with local leaders to best meet their specific needs.
Your support transforms families around the world
Your gift directly advances on-the-ground work led by local staff so more children grow up safe, healthy, strong, and confident.
