Program Policy
The best environment for girls and boys to grow up and develop is their own families. This is established by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which mentions in its preamble
“... that the family, as the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and well‐being of all its members and particularly children... that the child, for the full and harmonious development of his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding.” (OHCHR, 1990).
These fundamental humanitarian premises are established in our genesis as the Nora Sandigo Children Foundation (NSCF), adding the specialized approach to defending these rights in the context of complex immigration regulations that often constitute risks to the family unit.

To our immigrant families, our leaders in government, and to everyone who cares about the future of this country,
My name is Nora Sandigo, and for years now, I’ve walked alongside children whose parents live with the fear of being deported. I’ve held their hands in courtrooms. I’ve listened as they cried, begging not to be separated from the only family they’ve ever known.
I’m not writing this just as an advocate, but as someone who’s witnessed—up close—what these policies do to kids.
Many of these children are U.S. citizens. They’re protected by the same Constitution. They’re part of our communities, our schools, our future. And yet, they wake up every day wondering if their parents will still be there when they get home. That fear leaves deep marks—on their learning, on their mental health, on their sense of belonging and safety.
To our immigrant brothers and sisters: your pain is real, and your voices matter. You have every right to speak up and be heard, but please—do it peacefully. Violence doesn’t bring healing. It brings more hurt. It creates fear and chaos in our neighborhoods, and our children feel that most. Protest with courage—but also with care. Our power comes not from anger, but from unity.
To our leaders: I ask you—don’t forget the children. When a parent is deported, the heartbreak ripples far beyond that one person. A child loses their anchor. Their world is shaken and the trauma lasts for years. These kids are not invisible- they are Americans and they deserve a future where they feel safe, seen, and supported.
This is a time for compassion. Policy should never be just numbers on a page—it should reflect the people behind those numbers. I urge you to weigh the full cost of immigration enforcement—and to lead with solutions that keep families together.
As a follower of Jesus, I believe we’re called to love, to protect, and to stand with the most vulnerable. Jesus never turned away children—He lifted them up. He reminded us that what we do for the least among us, we do for Him.
Let this letter be a reminder—and a call. We can choose peace instead of fear. Mercy instead of division. And above all, we can protect the children who are looking to us right now for courage, for care, and for hope.
With all my heart,
Nora Sandigo ... See MoreSee Less
