We are aiming to purchase the property for Sozo soon in 2021. Please consider becoming one of Sozo Mountain’s founding donors and supporters. 

 
Networking and building relationships

Happening now

"It takes a village to raise a child." Therefore networking and establishing relationships within the local community, such as with the judicial system, social services, government, business, churches and local leaders, is necessary for success.

 
Property repairs and renovations

To take place after the purchase of the building.  Target dates for renovations  June 2021

The property has been vacant for over 12 years. Therefore it will need new child-safe windows, a perimeter fence, kitchen upgrades, medical clinic, laundry equipment, painting, various repairs and clean-up. Estimated rennovation costs are $350K USD.   

The funding goal of 2 million USD for the property is essential. Help us reach this goal and raise the amount needed to purpchase the property by mid 2021. Hopefully taking possession of the property by May 2021.  ​Get Involved

the kids
 
Target:
Christmas 2021

Imagine, in just under a year, it is quite feasible to be operable and ready to receive children. Even though there is much to do to be ready for this moment, rescuing the orphan children and this generation serves as a great motivator.
