Our Mission
Transforming lives with the love of Jesus, through knowledge, clean water, and opportunities for children with disabilities
ABOUT US
We are a ministry in Belize dedicated to helping special-needs children and supporting our community.
Our Nonprofit, NGO organization is called Se Konsa which means, “That’s Right!”. The organization’s outreaches include villages in Cayo, Belize, Central America. At the hospital we pray for the sick, and give care packages to new moms who sometimes have nothing to even wrap their baby in to take them home. We teach labor and delivery techniques to expectant moms and dads at the clinic in San Ignacio and in the Mennonite community in Spanish Lookout. Many women have asked us to help be doulas for their births, so we provide support before, during and after their deliveries.
As our hearts have always been touched by special needs children, we are currently continuing to add to our dream for them- a special needs children’s camp, Camp Se Konsa! This is the first camp for special needs children and their families in Belize. It is most common for families with special needs children to stay at home because there is no place to take them or a way to get them there. We are honored to pick them up so that they can enjoy what was made special for them!
Our ministry provides families with much needed respite by providing a day – or an overnight adventure! – for the whole family to enjoy at Camp Se Konsa! The atmosphere is filled with laughter as the children play on the playground developed with their needs in mind, make crafts, and learn about the culture in and around Belize.
We also provide medical supplies, school supplies, and teach health tips for living healthier lives. It is a pleasure working with teams from around the world to provide Jesus’ love through therapy (i.e. physical, occupational, speech, mental health, etc.), optometry screenings, dental hygiene assistance and wheelchairs they can take home with them. Since 2016, we have been working with our local community and government. We dedicate our lives to investing in the lives of these very special families.
