About This Cause
The Kinderwerk Lima (Children's Fund Lima) is a free relief organization. The fund sponsors the education in school und the vocational training of children and teenagers who come from a background of poverty in Peru and Paraguay. Their families are also strengthened. Hundreds of thousands of families in the slum areas of the cities are living at the poverty line. They are dwelling in primitive huts - many without running water, municipal garbage and sewerage system. They live from hand to mouth because they have no permanent position; also no social security. Crime and violence are part of their everyday life. Children are particularly affected by poverty. They long for acceptance and love. But often they experience in the society only contempt and disregard; their parents are neglecting them often. The Kinderwerk Lima enables more than 4000 children and teenager in the age of 3 to 17 to visit the kindergarten, the school and the professional trainings. Children with learning disabilities get remedial teaching. The schools have repeatedly won national awards because of their quality. The children are promoted in their personality development. They get to know Christian values and are challenged to live their life in an independent manner. They are trained in the last three school years in four different qualified professional trainings: mechanics, electricians, sewing workers for the industry and qualified office employees. Hot lunches from the kitchen of the school belong also to the holistic support, as well as medical and dental health care. The parents are also involved in their child's development through training seminars about subjects like education, health, family circle and issues of the Christian faith. The 9-million-city Lima at the coast and Huanta in the Andes mountains are locations of these projects in Peru; in Paraguay the capital Asunción and Santaní in the rural environment. We are looking for a sponsor in Germany or Switzerland for each underprivileged child who supports the child during the school days and accompanies him on his way to life. The staff in the office for sponsors is the contact person for personal correspondence to the schoolchild. Additionally, the Kinderwerk Lima has a children's feeding in the slum areas of Lima for 4000 children in the age of 2 to 10. They get weekdays a simple breakfast which consists of a cup of milk and a wholemeal bread roll. The Kinderwerk Lima is financed by donations of individuals and Christian communities. The intended use of the donations is independently controlled each year. The executive director is visiting twice a year South America and carries out functions of supervision. The German branch of Kinderwerk Lima has the approval of generally accepted seal of DZI (Deutsches Zentralinstitut für soziale Fragen = German central institute for social questions). Your help reaches the poor! You offer children chances for their life! Kinderwerk Lima e.V. Pfr.
