• In Brazil: Daycare for
subsistence fishermen

The Evangelical Mission for Assistance to Fishermen operates a daycare for children in the village of South Barcelos. The daycare centre is an extension of their work with desperately poor fishermen who work long hours just to survive.

At the daycare centre, the children receive two meals each day and clothing if needed. Skill development and Bible stories are also taught. Medical and dental assistance is provided regularly. The ministry has recently launched a second daycare program to serve the needs of this community.

• In Guatemala: Quality
education for urban poor

Guatemala's crowded school system serves only half of the country’s school-aged children. The majority of those left out are Spanish and Indian children. The Latin American Evangelical Institute has responded to make it possible for these children to receive a quality education.

The program provides Christian education for children from kindergarten through high school. Sponsors provide a child in Guatemala with education, good nutritious food and an opportunity to learn about the Lord Jesus and His message of love and acceptance.
