Colombia is still reported to be the world's most dangerous society with hundreds of thousands of children living in the most appalling conditions and extreme poverty. Our Christ centered work tackles the poverty right at the root. Children are cared for physically, developed spiritually, equipped educationally, enabling them to stay in their home environment, not forced on to the streets.

Colombia ChildCare International seeks out these vulnerable children and positively inputs their lives by bringing hope where previously there was none!

"Our aim is to help alleviate the social and spiritual deprivation of the poorest of poor children in Colombia by linking God's mercy with human need."

How can I bring hope to these children?

We need your help to continue this vital ministry. CCCI are already touching the lives of many children through our feeding programs. We need many more sponsors to ensure that each child receives the full benefit of our ministry.

• Nutritional Diet

 

The average child suffers from some form of anemia due to parasites and lack of proper nourishment. Most children cease to drink milk at the age of two, once younger siblings become their mother's priority. Coffee becomes an immediate substitute for milk, because it's able to quench hunger!

Other staple foods, such as maize are low in protein content, while eggs, beans, rice and meat are rarely eaten. Poor nutrition and difficult hygiene conditions limit the child's physical development, while neglect and lack of educational opportunities limit their spiritual and intellectual capabilities. The problem here can be easily stated as an almost irretrievable loss of human potential

• Christian Education

 

The education the children are receiving is from preschool all the way up to 11th grade.

The education is based on the standard Colombia Education Authorities national curriculum. However, because we are a Christian School, Christian education is also included. We have a sports academy which is an extra option for the children to learn in more depth sports. Our aim is also to teach the children a second language (English) and that the children become computer literate.

Future development of the educational program would include vocational training, with skills such as carpentry, metalics, and tourism being taught.
