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.

Blessings dear donors, please accept our greetings. We would like to share the following verse with you, on behalf of our evangelical church: John 14:6.

We would like to express our deep gratitude for the support that you have given us for the benefit of the participants in the Survival program. Your valuable support has helped improve the health of our children, through the food and medical care they receive. In addition, we have also helped families form their moral and spiritual values.

Thanks to your financial support, we have managed to improve the physical and emotional growth of children and caregivers. We have also benefited the families since they have been supported with food packages.

We reiterate once again our gratitude, and we wish that the Lord continues to bless you. Thank you for the trust that you have placed in the church to manage the funds, which are being well utilized for the benefit of the Survival families and the children.

Sincerely,

Pastor Edgar, NI0266

Blessings to you. My name is Karen and my dear son is Ervin. It is a privilege to write to you and to express our gratitude to you for being a great blessing to me and my beloved son, as well as for many mothers and children who are also part of the beautiful Survival program.

Through the program, I have had the opportunity to listen and learn from the Word of God. I have also shared beautiful experiences. Through the program, I have received many benefits including food packages, medical checkups, materials for spiritual development and mosquito nets, among others.

I have also been able to receive valuable lessons that have impacted my life and have been of great help for the care and development of my baby. I have obtained great knowledge and the biggest impact I’ve had is to know God. The milestones my baby has achieved are that he has good nutrition according to his age, he obtained good development such as in gross and fine motor skills. He has good nutritional control by the program, and his favourite activities are the dynamics performed in the lessons, work and homework assigned.

I wholeheartedly thank you for your support and for the help that has been given to me.

ReportA message from a partnership facilitator

Peace of Jesus Christ. My name is Renan, Compassion Nicaragua Partnership Facilitator. I am from the western region and have been blessed to serve in this ministry for seven years. I thank God for allowing me to serve the NI0266 Bread of Life church. I also want to thank Pastor Edgar for his significant contribution to this frontline church in the community of Villa Camilo in Nicaragua.

Thanks to your support, many mothers have been served through the Survival program, providing the help they need during such a crucial stage of pregnancy and the first months of a newborn’s life, where extreme care and quality attention are needed.

This program has helped to educate, raise awareness, empower and, above all, preserve the lives of both mothers and babies. Thanks to your support, we have been able to reduce the impact of poverty on these families, allowing us to share the Word of God with families and see the results of confessions of faith, baby presentations and a reduction in poverty-related illnesses. We have also provided families with loving education and helped families learn about responsible parenting with an emphasis on child protection.

Thank you for your philanthropic work on behalf of the families in these communities in western Nicaragua. I want to bless your lives and those of your families in the name of Jesus. It is my prayer that God fulfills the following promise in your lives: Psalm 41:1 “Happy is one who is considerate of the poor; the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.”

I pray that God grants the request of your heart. Thanks to your generosity, the church is having a positive impact in the community.

Your brother in Christ,

Renan
