Elizabeth Saunders Home

Elizabeth Saunders Home was founded on February 1st, 1948, as an infant home in pursuit of Christian values.

Rejoice with those who rejoice,
weep with those who weep.From the letter to the Romans, Chapter 12:15, New Testament

Elizabeth Saunders Home was founded on February 1st, 1948, as an infant home in pursuit of Christian values.
Its founder Miki Sawada described its inauguration day as the day “when I dedicated everything to God; this site, the undertakings to start on it and the remaining days of my life.”

After 70-plus years from its inception, we are determined even more strongly than ever to emulate our founder and to serve those in need of our help while staying by their side.

Words from Chairman of the Board

Our Social Welfare Corporation Elizabeth Saunders Home engages three projects.
The first is the management of children's home, and the second is the management of certified center for early childhood education.
And the third is the operation of the Miki Sawada Memorial Museum. This museum was established for the purpose of the public interest, which is the spiritual foundation of the facility's founder, Miki Sawada.
At our facility, we take care of children who have grown up in various living environments at " children's homes " and certified center for early childhood education. "Aobato", and we are working to raise them to be people who have good aspirations for the future of Japan and can lead an independent social life.
The staff are serious about the work of raising children, respect the individuality of each child in their upbringing, and work hard every day with children with warm affection based on the Christian spirit.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the Social Welfare Corporation Elizabeth Saunders Home for the great support we have received from volunteers, universities, companies, Japan Anglican Church, and the people of Oiso Town .
Peace in the world is currently in a very unstable situation, and we are worried about whether our children will be able to live in a world where they can live with peace of mind.
The Elizabeth Saunders Home will continue to work with children, who are important assets , to value the individuality of each individual, and we ask for your continued understanding and support.
