Agua Prieta, Mexico

Concern International provides funding for the everyday expenses of the Brazos De Amor (Arms of Love) Orphanage in Agua Prieta, Mexico.  Brazos De Amor, also called The Ranch, is a safe haven for any children and young people. The staff provide a loving environment for children that come from the community or neighboring towns that need a place to be; this maybe for just a meal, a night or indefinitely. They provide love, mentoring, education, and Biblical training for the individuals who come to the “Ranch”. They are dedicated to making the lives of these hurting children better and safe.

Each month $1950 gets sent down to cover propane, food, electric, pharmacy, gasoline, wages, and miscellaneous.

Propane: $150

Food: $500

(increase in January 2025 to provide extra money to buy meat/protein)

Electric: $350

Pharmacy: $25

Gasoline: $100

Wages: $775

(This is bimonthly for the staff)

Miscellaneous: $50

As you can see, this does not include any “extra” expenses that tend to pop up in everyday life. No repair budget were something to break, and no “luxury” items like clothes, toys, entertainment.
