Bringing Hope and Healing to Vulnerable Children
Okoa’s Residential Child Rescue Center is truly special! Each child is supported by mentors, social workers, caretakers, and healthcare professionals who ensure their needs are met while Okoa works to secure a safe, permanent family placement whenever possible. Become part of a child’s journey from crisis to family by joining a Care Team. Your monthly support ensures vulnerable children receive vital necessities like nutritious food, safe shelter, quality healthcare, and access to education. Most importantly, your sponsorship provides the love and guidance every child needs as we work to reunite them with their families or help them find a forever home.

Okoa works diligently to find forever families for each child in our care, but sometimes, it is not possible. For those children, Okoa is and always will be “home.” From housing, meals, healthcare, daily needs, mentoring, and education, these children receive love and everything they need from Okoa.
Residential program fees
Become Part of a Care Team!
It only takes $150*/month to provide excellent care to one Okoa child!
Care Team partners give monthly support in full ($150/month) or in $25 increments. So a full Care Team can be one person or as many as six people!
Please note: Children with an asterisk (*) require specialized medical care. Their Care Team fees are $250/month.
Any support received above a child’s set amount is used to cover costs for children without Care Team partners.
Family & Disability program
We partner with families as they grow to confidently lead, provide, and care for their children with disabilities and/or significant medical needs. Okoa covers surgery costs, provides medicines and therapies, supplies specialized and custom assistive devices, and champions parents as they create the best environments for their children to thrive.
