We are Real Estate Professionals transforming the industry by stepping up for children living in extreme poverty. Through Sell a Home, Save a Child, we connect home sales to life-changing impact—helping vulnerable children receive the holistic care they need to thrive.
Your contributions provide children living in extreme poverty with food, education, medical care, and mentorship—giving them the resources they need to build a brighter future.
Real Estate Professionals who align with a meaningful mission report stronger retention, motivation, and fulfillment. Your team members will take pride in knowing they’re making a difference beyond the closing table.
Companies that stand for something greater build deeper trust with their clients. By becoming a purpose-driven business, you inspire loyalty and set yourself apart in the industry.
While we fully believe in local charity, we realize the extraordinary power the American dollar has in developing countries across the world. When the average family in an impoverished country lives off $1 a day, you can count on your donation making a world of difference for them. Government support systems we take for granted in the U.S simply do not exist in the countries we serve, so without our programs these children would literally miss meals, school, and an opportunity for a better future.
Since 2016, Sell a Home, Save a Child (SAHSAC) Members have raised over $4.5 million for children living in poverty.
100% of SAHSAC donations go to Forward Edge International, a highly accredited 501(c)(3) relief and development organization.

Sell a Home, Save a Child was founded by Real Estate leaders Nick Shivers and Erik Hatch, who saw firsthand the hardships children face in developing countries. Wanting to create a simple way for the real estate industry to give back, they partnered with Forward Edge International to launch Sell a Home, Save a Child. Since 2016, Sell a Home, Save a Child members have raised over $4.5 million for children in poverty.

Forward Edge’s programs for vulnerable children are located in Cuba, Haiti, Kenya, Mexico, Central America, Uganda, and Ghana. These programs help children trapped in poverty reach their full potential by meeting their basic needs (food, safe water, health care) and empowering them with quality education, vocational training, and spiritual mentorship. Through these children, impoverished communities will experience lasting transformation for generations to come.
We focus on providing children with the tools and opportunities they need to overcome poverty and transform future generations.
All of our programs are envisioned and run by local leaders pouring into their own people.
We work with our communities, not for them, to determine their unique needs and discover creative solutions to overcome poverty.
Many families in Cuba face resource scarcity, limited opportunities, and an uncertain future. We’re coming alongside children to nourish them physically and spiritually, offering a light of hope and support in a place where hope often feels out of reach. Together, we’re helping them discover possibilities even in the midst of adversity.
In the face of gang violence, extreme poverty, and a lack of resources, we’re transforming lives in Haiti by providing meals, skills training, and hope for a future beyond the challenges of today. Amid instability, we’re offering opportunity and renewal through practical care and the love of Christ.
Amid extreme poverty and hunger, we serve over 1,000 children in Kenya with meals and education every day. By building homes for single mothers, we are helping families who once struggled to survive create lives filled with hope and opportunities for their children.
Confronting poverty and limited opportunities, we’re transforming lives in Oaxaca by providing children with nutritious meals, access to education, and the encouragement of God’s love. Through these Christ-centered programs, we are empowering children to dream beyond their circumstances and building a stronger, more promising future for the entire community.
Facing significant challenges, we empower families and support under-resourced children in Central America by reducing barriers to education and providing encouragement. Our programs also offer care for the elderly and children with special needs, helping participants discover their God-given skills, abilities, and talents to seize opportunities and build a brighter future.
Working in the communities and slums surrounding Kampala, we’re lighting the way by providing meals, education, skills training, and the gospel to children facing extreme poverty, crime, and health challenges. Together, we are equipping the next generation to overcome the odds and build a brighter, more hopeful future.
Overcoming cultural barriers and extreme poverty—especially for girls—we’re empowering families in Ghana with meals, education, and mentoring. In communities where education is not always valued, we’re transforming lives and sharing God’s love, helping children break free from cycles of poverty and build a brighter future.
Emerging from generational trauma and ethnic division, we’re bringing hope to Kosova by feeding children and sharing the love of Jesus in communities still rebuilding after war. In a place where ethnic divides run deep, we’re working to heal and unite through education, compassion, and the gospel.
