Sanctuary of Love is all about bringing God’s love and hope to the forgotten children of Senegal. We provide refuge for the Senegalese children who have been abandoned, exploited, abused, or orphaned. These children receive loving care, nutritious food, clean water, life skills, and hope for their future.
We are located near the village of Ndiagiano, Senegal. Our plan, God willing, is to build the Sanctuary of Love Centre. This will be a safe place, providing these children with a loving home environment to heal, learn, and grow. By empowering the children with the skills, they need to break the cycle of poverty and exploitation, they will one day be able to leave the Centre as confident young men and women, boldly sharing the love and message of Jesus wherever they go.
For 2022, our biggest challenge is the construction of the Sanctuary of Love Centre. To date, we have purchased a 3.6-acre parcel of land, dug a well on the property and have begun to construct a secure fence around the the property. As additional funds come in, we will begin the construction of the Centre. We are currently renting two homes in the village to take in as many children as possible until the Centre is built.
We are a non-denominational, non-profit, independent ministry. We were founded on faith and prayer and are supported by friends and family who have a heart for the vulnerable Senegalese children. Please join us in prayer and thank you for giving financially as you feel led.
