There are millions of them: the family disasters when children are the victims. Disasters such as these: Husbands leaving their wives who then don’t have the strength they need for their children, young mothers not wanting to have their children and leaving them just anywhere, children who are maltreated or sexually abused, children who are unwanted eaters. Where can these children go?

When Heinrich and Frieda Liebich started taking in orphaned and neglected children to live with them on their modest farm, they had no idea what would come out of this initiative. After Heinrich Liebich’s death in 1973, MASA built a children’s village with ten family houses and an outbuilding.

Today, some 80 children are cared for here. Here, they receive everything they need for their development, and their emotional and spiritual needs also are met. This includes the invitation to believe in God. The most important thing is to make them experience, time and again, that they are loved and accepted.

The director of the children’s home is Pastor José Reinaldo Pinheiro.

You may contribute to giving these children a new chance in life by sponsoring a specific child or by supporting the home as such.
