Project Details
Children in South America have been going hungry, or even starving. They have been being abandoned by their parents for lack of money to feed them, living without proper clothing or protective footwear, going without vital medical or dental treatments, missing their educations, and coming under the control of human traffickers and criminal gangs.
Imagine a place where grocery stores often are empty, where you might walk 20 kilometers in scorching heat to reach a gas station for fuel for your car, where water or electricity can be off for a week at a time, and where parents have begun to abandon young children on the streets for lack of money to feed them.
With the help of our donors, we have been bringing aid to these children. The more donations we receive, the more children we can help.
Should a 10-year-old live on the streets with a gunshot wound?
Should a young boy's feet bleed for lack of shoes?
Should a toddler have to eat out of a garbage can?
While it may not be all over the news, this has begun to become the reality of the country of South America. The biggest casualties are the children.
This is a hidden crisis.
Charity United volunteers are on the ground in South America, bringing help to these children. In addition to finding lost and starving children on the streets to bring them aid, we have now created new community centers.
OUR COMMUNITY CENTERS*
Charity United volunteers are now running several community centers for children in South America!
Children can come to a community center to receive food, soup, education, and even a safe place to play. Firefighters volunteer their time to act as security guards. Nutritious soup is given, and free classes are held for children.
Some of the aid we have been providing to the children of South America, both inside and outside our community centers, includes the following:
- Nourishing food, such as soup with real bone broth, chicken, vegetables, and oatmeal
- Clothing and shoes
- Shelter (providing short-term shelter, and arranging long-term shelter)
- Education and free classes
- Medical, dental, and eye care
- Therapy (speech therapy, learning therapy, and trauma therapy)
- Safety and security, including community centers where children can study and play, where volunteers and firemen function as security guards
*During quarantine, community centers may be temporarily closed, while we continue to bring food, education, and assistance to children within the safety of their homes.
Every donation received makes a tremendous difference in how many children we are able to help, and how much help we can give!
General legal disclosure: Needs can change on a moment’s notice. Today's food shortage can become tomorrow's water shortage. In order to maintain long-term operations and to provide maximum aid to those in need, Charity United reserves the right to reallocate donated funds at its discretion, so as to facilitate the accomplishment of its charitable aims. Maintaining this flexibility allows Charity United to provide more benefit to more people.
