Educate Street Children in El Salvador

He is 22 years old and comes from a very humble home made of old pieces of tin with a dirt floor, two rooms one where the family cooks and the other where the family sleeps. Each day his family fights to better their quality of life. He entered our program in El Salvador in 2007 because he hoped to continue his middle school education, but he was at the time unable to pay the costs to keep studying.

Before learning about The God’s Child Project, he studied at night and in the mornings he went out with his father to collect and recycle trash.  By doing this he hoped to make a living for himself. He did this every day to have a small income and pay for his education, they also used the money they earned to pay for medicine for his mother who needs special medicine on a monthly basis.

When he began the program at The God’s Child Project, he also began to receive financial help each month and to receive food donations (rice and beans) so that he was able to make a better living in his home, not just for him but also for their mother who, when they did not have money to pay for medicine, would receive an additional donation from the Project to buy it.

After much hard work, in 2010 he was able to finish this middle school education. When he finished he had the opportunity to work as a local gas station and decided at this time not to continue his studies, but rather to work and earn an income. However, he plans in the future, when he finds further economic stability to continue his studies, possibly even at the university level.

Now he and his family are incredibly thankful for the support they have received as it has allowed them to significantly improve their living conditions.   We hope that you will help us so we can continue to help more people to improve their lives through education.
