SANCS History

Our First Home Opened

Since 1996, SANCS has been helping Chinese peasant orphan children by providing a home, clothes, love and care as well as providing the means for them to attend the public school. With little money and much hope for these needy little children we rented an apartment where they were able to live as a family with brothers and sisters.

Two live-in- caretakers were hired to act as mothers sand it quickly became a close knit loving home. This arrangement worked wonderfully and formed the pattern that we have followed throughout the years. 2click to see more......


The first day of our first eight children


Our Second Home Opened

Our first home was an immediate success and through it, we received much coverage by both the television and the news media throughout all of the country of China. In 1998, Newsweek magazine in America and in Japan featured SANCS's home in an article.

Six months after our first home opened we had enough additional support to open a second home and helped eight more orphans.

Our New SANCS Home Built

In October, 1999 we completed the construction of our own home paid for cooperatively with a gift from an American friend and the Chinese government. At this time we were able to open our third home. click to see more......

As of the spring of 2011 we had provided a home for 78 orphan children with 36 children living in our home. Three of them are attending and studying at universities. Two of them are in technical high school. We will always help more children as we have more support. If you would like more information about how you could help, see our web page on Ways to help.
