Juniper Tree Children's Home Sponsorship, Pachacamac

The Lima Children’s Home began in December 1992 in the La Molina district to care for orphaned, abused and abandoned children. The Home officially moved to the district of Pachacamac, on the outskirts of Lima in March of 2010.

The new Juniper Tree Children’s Home in Pachacamac currently has about 30 children in five family homes where their physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs can be met while preparing them to be strong Christians and upstanding citizens in their communities. Eventually six family homes will each house eight children and their house parents. Each home has its own kitchen, dining room, living room, and outside play area. The older boys and their house parents moved from Lima into the first family unit in Pachacamac in March of 2009 and were joined by the other children from the Lima Home a year later. The new space will allow us to begin rescuing additional children and bringing them into the home. The older boys will eventually move to their own property nearby when funds become available.

A number of our graduates, grateful for the opportunities they’ve been given, have a strong desire to work with children at risk in the future.
