Your sponsored child lives in an area outside Santiago that is bordered by the Yaque River and connected to the city by the Hermano Patino Bridge. This area has many impoverished neighborhoods and is riddled with poverty, disease, streets filled with garbage, unemployment, vagrancy, child prostitution, and drugs. Efforts are being made to change the culture here and with God’s help and your participation the project aims to serve the children so they can improve their community! The children at this project attend public school and the project provides homework assistance, a Saturday community center, food support, medical care, and spiritual guidance that ultimately affects the whole family. Please click on the child's photo to learn more about them and to begin your sponsorship journey! Remember, letters can always be sent to your child online. We encourage you to get to know them throughout their education!
