General information
In southern Brazil, we support a daycare center in a low-income neighborhood of the city of Tucunduva. There, more than one hundred children and teenagers from disadvantaged families are cared for and supported every day through a variety of activities and vocational preparation programs. They receive nutritious meals daily and, when needed, clothing. A sponsorship of 30 Euro/Month enables a child to attend the daycare center. Project 221 – Child Sponsorships Brazil

More than 150 children
At the center, more than 150 children aged 0 to 17 from mostly challenging social backgrounds are cared for on weekdays. While the younger children are looked after in the nursery and kindergarten, boys and girls aged six and above can take part in various activities outside school hours, such as music, gardening, woodworking, baking classes, sewing courses, pottery, computer skills, and communication. In addition, every Sunday a Children’s church is offered for the children of the city.
The daycare center enjoys a good reputation with the city authorities as well as among the local population and is an integral part of social life.
Our staff Abel & Fernanda Schorr:
“We believe that we can foster and positively influence the development of children from the very beginning by applying God’s principles in our work and trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Children who come to know God’s Word and His presence gain a foundation to face life’s challenges and to look to the future with hope.”
