The Need

Of the 5.2 million children who die around the world each year, 75 per cent die in the first year of life. Babies are at risk of death due to premature birth complications, complications during childbirth, infections, pneumonia and diarrhea. But this is preventable. With training and support, moms in poverty can be empowered to raise healthy and happy babies.

Our Response

Critical care
Your support helps secure access to pre- and postnatal care, skilled birth attendants and medical intervention when necessary.

Home-based care
Mothers are visited in their homes monthly by a Survival specialist, who offers education in prenatal care and early child-rearing as well as one-on-one biblical mentoring.

Group-based learning
At these church-based activities, moms learn skills to earn an income and gain vital knowledge including basic literacy, the importance of breastfeeding and how to prevent malnutrition and disease. These groups combat isolation through a supportive community of mothers who, together, learn about the God who loves them.

Activities

Health care: Moms received health care throughout pregnancy and were taught how to have a healthy pregnancy. Specialized pediatric screening was offered to babies twice a year, and babies were weighed and measured regularly to screen for disease and malnutrition. Moms were encouraged to vaccinate their babies on schedule to prevent illness. Moms and babies received treatment as needed.

Child development: Caregivers enjoyed bringing their babies to the playroom at the centres, which provided a safe space for babies to explore and access stimulating toys and mobiles. Moms learned early stimulation activities to do with their babies at home to help them reach developmental milestones such as crawling, standing and taking first steps. Parents learned to encourage babies in verbal communication, in strengthening motor skills and in brain development through massage and playful exercises and activities.

Health education: Moms learned how to manage family health, hygiene and well-being. Moms were empowered to create home environments that are safe, clean and well-ventilated to prevent and treat common illnesses like diarrhea and respiratory illnesses. Moms learned to recognize when to seek medical assistance for their children. Staff provided moms with infant hygiene supplies, including bathtubs, towels and soap.

Food assistance: Food hampers were given to Survival families each month so moms could prepare nutritious meals for their families. These baskets included eggs, grains, oil, shelf-stable food and nutrition supplements. This assistance combats malnutrition, anemia and other diseases related to poor food availability. During home visits, moms learned to prepare nutritious meals using locally available ingredients.

Income generation: Moms were taught various handicraft skills, including foam craft, papercraft, knitting sweaters and crochet. They also learned to make local specialty foods like pastries. Moms refined their skills to provide for their families and to generate extra income. Creating beautiful objects by hand is culturally significant for these moms and helped improve their confidence, mental health and connection.

Spiritual nurture: During group meetings, moms learned that God has a plan for them, that they are made in God’s image and that they have a purpose. Staff taught moms to pray, teach the Bible to their children and care for themselves and others because they have great worth. Moms also explored and discovered their talents during a group talent show, which helped build their self-confidence. Moms celebrated Christmas together and each mom received a special Christmas package.

ReportA message from a pastor

Dear sponsors, it is a pleasure to greet you in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and to wish that you may always be used by God to bless others. My name is Elvis, Pastor of the Church of Light and Hope. My wife, Dayne, my daughter, Sayumi, and I have been serving in the ministry for 12 years.

Allow me this opportunity to thank you for the funding of the Survival program. From this group, we highlight the effective work in the area of integral discipleship, impacting the participants with the principes of the Kingdom of God through the Holy Scriptures.

The Word of God has had the greatest impact on our beneficiaries, bringing about a process of change in them. At the same time, I would like to mention that the community now views the Church of Light and Hope from a different perspective, making evident the integral work being developed through the foundation and the church, which is impacting our local citizens.

This group faces many medium- and long-term challenges in the area of integral discipleship, with an emphasis that participants impact their families and communities with a Kingdom of God mentality.

Thank you again for all your support. We wish that God blesses you greatly.

With affection,

Pastor Elvis

ReportA message from those your gift helped

My name is Nelly. I am 26 years old and the mother of Liam, who is 10 months old. By the grace of God, my husband, Luis, and I are blessed with a beautiful and precious son.

I joined the Survival program when my son was just 15 days old. Today, my husband and I are attending church, and I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful program, which has been such a blessing in my life and for my family.

Being part of the Survival program has allowed me to come to know God. I’ve learned how to read the Bible, how to pray and how to sing praises to Him. Over the past few months, my husband and I have been going through a difficult time due to lack of job opportunities for him and because of the current economic crisis in our country of Bolivia, which is affecting everyone. As a family, we’ve decided to place everything in God’s hands and trust in His will. The Survival program has been a true blessing for us; it has provided food supplies that have helped us tremendously, and that support is irreplaceable.

Through this program, I’m also learning how to love and care for my baby, thanks to the early stimulation lessons led by our implementer, Leyddi. These sessions are held once a month in the playroom, and they’ve been incredibly valuable.

We also had the privilege of receiving our first medical checkup. Thank God, both my baby and I are healthy. Having access to medical care is extremely important for us. It allows for early detection of any health issues and teaches us how to prevent illness in our children. Thanks to these medical visits, my baby is developing in a healthy and strong way. The nutritional supplements we receive once a month are also a great help. They support my baby’s growth and health and prevent malnutrition.

The activity I enjoy most in the program is the group session, which also takes place once a month in the playroom. In these sessions, I learn new topics related to early stimulation that help my child develop his abilities and skills. I also learn more about building a positive and loving relationship between mother and child.

ReportA message from a partnership facilitator

May the grace and love of God bless your lives, families and ministry.

First of all, I want to thank you for the support you provide to the Assemblies of God Church, Luz de Esperanza Church, located in a peri-urban area of Oruro, about 4 kilometres from the city centre.

The Survival program is helping to change the mindset of mothers with babies in our community. It is clear how much the mothers love their children and how they are giving them better care. All the mothers live in the peri-urban area and have migrated from rural zones. The commitment of the church, through the pastor and the implementer, is remarkable, as they are always sharing and teaching the Word of God.

Now the church feels strengthened and has new classrooms built by the church, where Saturday services are held. The mothers of all the children participate and children attend. Mothers and babies receive the Word of God and learn in detail what is taught during home visits and group activities in the playroom. The pastor feels encouraged to influence the lives of children from conception and through their development.

I bid you farewell, wishing you success in all things and that you may always be blessed.

Richard
