ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
BORN IN COMPASSION
Many dedicated and hard-working people have kept Manuelito Navajo Children's Home going through the years.
However, friends, 2022 finds the Navajo children in trouble again! No amount of hard work and dedication can help the crumbling buildings. Those cottages, so lovingly built-in 1965/66, have crumbling foundations and can only be braced so many times until they are uninhabitable. The gym, food pantry/clothing building, shop, and school are all dated and need to be replaced. To add to the frustration, Jim Christian (Superintendent), turns away as many as 3 children a week because Manuelito can no longer house the added demand for the neglected, abused, and homeless Navajo children.
Our goal in the next 5 years is to replace the old and crumbling buildings, add more cottages to house more children, and build a proper school building to accommodate all of the children!! It is quite a challenge but we know with God’s direction, your prayers, and with your generosity, we can accomplish all 5 phases of Project: “NEW HOPE”

The primary work of the Manuelito Navajo Children’s Home is to provide a home for children, who for various reasons, cannot live with their parents. Our house parents are dedicated Christian couples who love children and have given themselves to guiding them toward responsible Christian adulthood.

TAX DOCS
Below are our most recent 5 years of Tax documentation as well as our 501C3 documentation. The Manuelito Navajo Children’s Home is a recognized 501c3 tax-exempt charitable organization as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. We are incorporated and licensed in the State of New Mexico as a Non-Profit children's home.

We receive absolutely no state or federal funding. The Lord has richly blessed us in many ways over the years. It is through Him that we can continue helping disadvantaged kids. We exist through the generosity of loving, caring Christians who give of their blessings to support this great work. We thank you for your prayerful and continued support of MNCH.
