At the Ark Jarabacoa, children who have endured neglect, trauma, or abuse find more than just shelter—they find healing. In family-style homes led by loving caretakers, each child experiences daily rhythms of stability, support, and discipleship. A team of psychologists, social workers, and educators work together to meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, helping them rebuild trust and confidence one day at a time. From counseling, to devotions, to sports like soccer, every activity is designed to nurture the whole child—body, mind, and soul. As children begin to feel safe and loved, they learn new patterns of respect, self-control, and hope in Christ. The Ark’s holistic approach transforms pain into purpose, guiding each child toward a future filled with belonging and possibility.
