Manchay Keeping Families Together

Manchay, Peru

Kids Alive homes in Latin America often have poor widows or abandoned mothers ask for help to care for their children.

In Peru, we've responded with the Manchay Keeping Families Together initiative that helps widowed and abandoned moms.  Their children receive healthy meals, medical care, education and Christian training through the Manchay Care Center.  Currently 20 single mothers come to Kids Alive five days a week to receive job skills training and support so they can start small businesses, and also participate in Bible studies and parenting classes.  By participating in the Keeping Families Together initiative, the family enjoys a healthly lunch together with the other families.
