The core program at Saving Susan Ministry, it links orphans to Parent Partners who financially support them, build close relationships with them over video calling, and further emphasize the Christian values and lessons learned at their orphanages.

Our First Steps Program is for families who may not feel called yet to Parent Partner, but who would like to “get their feet wet,” support our orphans, and pray about Parent Partnering. First Steppers support their sponsored orphans through prayer, financial support, and letters.

Communication is key to any healthy relationship. Through our English Learning Program, we enroll each of our Parent Partnered children in classes with a focus on conversational English. As they improve in English, the relationships they have with their Parent Partners grow deeper. Speaking English also leads to better educational and employment opportunities for our orphans as they mature.

Named after two of our visionary forerunners in Cambodia, Dr. Baskin and Dr. Bowler, the Baskin-Bowler Foundation ensures that every orphan sponsored through Saving Susan Ministry has the opportunity to pursue their Next Step in education after high school. We invest so much in these orphans to raise them up to be godly, successful, and disciples in their countries. We risk them losing all this if they graduate from high school, leave their orphanage, and then face a prospect of working in the rice fields or even the threat of trafficking rather than pursuing a vocation that fits their passion and calling in life. All Parent Partnered orphans are eligible to apply for funding assistance for university or trade school through the Baskin-Bowler Foundation.

Saving Susan Ministry establishes a Music Academy in each orphanage it partners with. We donate instruments and fund music teachers to instruct the children. We fully believe in the power of music in the lives of our children and in praising God! “Make a joyful noise to the Lord.” Psalm 98:4
