Roots & Wings International Ministries

Roots & Wings works in Mazatlán, Mexico to provide impoverished families with healthy and affordable childcare for children who have no one to care for them while their parents are at work. Our goal is to minimize the number of children left at home or on the streets to fend for themselves and reduce the risk of these children being voluntarily or forcibly placed in an institution.

Roots & Wings’ mission is to assist these children in their physical, mental and spiritual development by providing safe and nurturing daytime care, food, clothing, medical and educational assistance, Biblical counsel and unconditional love. Roots & Wings also works with the child’s family and community to equip them to provide a better future for their children.

What We Do

Roots & Wings is a family care program. We believe that God designed children to grow and develop in families and communities. However, for many families living in poverty, lack of support and assistance often results in their children being placed in potentially harmful situations. They are at risk of being abandoned, abused, exploited or removed from the home and placed in institutional care. Our mission is to come alongside families and offer them assistance, allowing their children to remain in the home and building parents’ capacity to provide and care for their children. We accomplish this in three ways: 1. Offering parents and caregivers affordable childcare while they work to provide for their families. 2. Empowering families by helping each parent or caregiver develop the skills and resources they need to better care for their children and keep their families together. 3. Sharing the Gospel with the surrounding community.
