Our dream is to establish a full development program to the children in Cartago, and the sponsorships support their education, nutrition, mental healthcare, and spiritual development. This campaign is design to help with operations for the first year of the child center.

The program is designed to be hand-on, offering a safe space where children receive daily meals, school supplies, tutoring, and engaging activities to help them discover talents and gifts, while learning Biblical values and principles.

Sponsors and local participants will work together to run the program, improving communities by transforming the lives of children and youth.

The program targets critical issues in the area, situated where 1,744 households live below the poverty line and 271 in extreme poverty. Initially, the center will serve about 40 neighborhood children, with plans to expand to as many as 400 children from the three surrounding neighborhoods. It will begin in collaboration with "Voy a Cambiar el Mundo," a local organization already active in the community.

The center will eventually expand to include both the church and the child development program, operating out of a renovated, long-abandoned church building. This project has garnered community support, benefiting children and re-establishing a center for worship, thereby strengthening families and the community as a whole.
