“The mission of Barzakh Falah is grounded in respect.  We believe that every child has the right to grow and develop in a healthy and safe environment and in a cooperative atmosphere of care, love, stability, and hope. This care is vital for children who have been abandoned or abused, who deserve a sense of belonging in an atmosphere where they learn to care for one other, care for the plants and animals, and care for the soil.  For the children in our care, this shared experience evokes the feeling that they are a part of something worthwhile, something grand, which pulls everyone together and renews their spirits. At Barzakh Falah, we encourage a culture of sustainability, teaching children to respect the environment and cultivate long-term self-reliance and security; at the same time, we teach children to respect their emotional development through personal mentoring and spiritual guidance."
