OUR BEGINNING
From scarcity to abundance
At the time I founded Generations Humanitarian, it seemed like the worst possible period to launch another nonprofit. That was November 2008, and the stock market had just crashed. Surprisingly, we survived the Great Recession and actually grew. Seventeen years later, as we look back, we have become astonished at our progress. We have helped rear some 1700 children. Many of our children at the Sunflower and Espinal homes (our first homes) have aged out, becoming productive members of society. They went from living in an orphanage to being caring mothers and fathers and providing a home for their own offspring, breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty. They became business owners, accountants, chefs, and soldiers.
I look forward to working with you in the coming years. Right now, the world is preoccupied with geopolitical strife and economic scarcity and in the midst of all this commotion, those “disposable” street children still wander adrift—hungry, exposed, unloved, and fearful.
Our strategic plan is wrought with abundance in mind for these days. This is an invitation to you to bury your scarcity. It is an invitation to turn outward and increase your abundance by giving it away. Whether you are a home donor or strategic volunteer, you will find your place in this plan to move this great work forward.

Our Mission
Tiers of Street Children
There are three tiers of children: Those At Risk, those IN the street, and those OF the street. By caring for At Risk children, we prevent them ever from sleeping IN the street.

Drop-in Home
A drop-in home is a place of refuge where children can “drop in” during the day for a meal, clothes, a shower, medical attention, psychological attention, help with homework, cultural enhancement, friendship, and love.
Orphanage
The only difference between a drop in home and an orphanage is that the children sleep at the orphanage. They are wards of the state and we are their guardians, their loving family.
Sponsor a Child
Monthly

- It costs us $37.94 per month to feed, clothe, and educate a child, but we rounded up. This includes food, home, utilities, the cook, the director and assistant director, supervision, and transportation.
Annual
$ 456 / day

One Time
$ 100 / day
- Make a one time donation to fill in the gaps. Our support services (overhead) is generally between 4% and 11% annually. Nearly all of the donations go right to the homes.

OUR COMMITMENT
One child at a time
Daniela at the left was a small child when she first came to our Espinal drop-in home in Colombia. Seventeen years later, she has a college degree and a career. This success was made possible by a team of loving cooks, home directors, tutors, and a donor who bought her a laptop and paid for her tuition. She is one thousands our donors have given a life to.
DONATE NOW
Sponsor a Home
Our criteria for accepting a child is this: 1. They have 1 or 0 parents (the UN and USA definition of an orphan); 2. They sleep on the floor or have a dirt floor in their home; 3. Ours is the only meal they will eat that day; 4. They don’t attend school; and 5. They are refugees or displaced or victims of armed conflict. They must comply with #1 above, but other than that, if they qualify 3 out of the 5 criteria, we accept them into the home. Imagine being a child and waking up wondering if you will eat that day. At our homes the children get a great lunch (the biggest meal of the day in Latin America) and in many cases breakfast as well. Sponsor a home for $1000-$2000 per month and let 50-100 children eat every day and go to school.
