Comunidad de Niños Sagrada Familia - Children Community "Sacred Family" - Project

The “Comunidad de Niños Sagrada Familia” was founded in 1989 by Miguel Rodriguez and is located in one of Lima’s poorest districts, in Ventanilla. The community gives abandoned and neglected children exposed to drugs, violations, prostitution a caring and loving home. The kids receive not only food, but as well an overall education based on affection, responsibility, values and work. They are supported by a team of psychologist, social and care workers.

All children go to school and do extra lessons and activities at the home. They help with chores, cooking and caring for the younger children. Important for the development of the children and the financing of the project are the productive workshops. Here the children develop their potentials and capacities and learn trades that are useful for them in the future.

The workshops include at the moment carpentry, ceramic, bakery, farming (as far as the natural resources allow) and serigraphy. Due to insufficient funds other workshops like book printing, animal breeding, sewing, welding or computing are future goals.
