Constructing Joy for 200 Little Ones

Dear donors,

We are thrilled to share the beautiful progress of this project and how close we are to completing a space that will truly transform visits at the prison. Over the past weeks, the concrete bench has been completed, marking an important milestone in shaping the recreational and meeting area.

What remains ahead is painting the floor, installing the playground equipment, and finalizing the finishing touches that will bring warmth and color to the space. We are aiming to inaugurate the new area by mid-year, and the transformation is already visible.

We are now very close to achieving a welcoming and dignified environment where women can receive their children in a safe, joyful, and nurturing setting. Your continued support can help us cross the finish line. If you would still like to collaborate, we would deeply appreciate your contribution to make this space fully come to life.

Cheers!

Dear donnors,

Work to transform the visitation space began in early November following the co-design process and the creation of the mural. Approximately 20 incarcerated women received training to carry out wall preparation and painting, a step that is already reshaping the atmosphere of the area. In addition, concrete furniture destined for the play zone and recreational areas has been delivered and is currently being set in place.

The installation of a shade canopy is planned for the coming weeks to provide essential protection in this open-air courtyard. While substantial work remains, the combined impact of the new paint, the community-designed mural, and the canopy is expected to significantly improve the environment for the 200 children who visit their mothers and relatives.

We look forward to sharing further updates in our next report.

Cheers!
