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

Physical health: Moms received a breastfeeding talk highlighting the benefits for both infants and moms. Staff measured the weight and height of babies regularly to identify health concerns such as malnutrition or growth delays. Mosquito nets were distributed to help prevent mosquito-borne diseases. Moms attended a nutritional talk that covered safe food preparation, proper washing practices and the prevention of gastrointestinal illnesses. Moms brought their babies to play in the stimulation room, which was designed to help stimulate babies’ senses and help their physical, cognitive and emotional development.

Food security: Families received basic food packages and protection kits. In November, the centre hosted a traditional food festival where mothers shared cultural dishes, cooking techniques and customs. Families were also encouraged to raise chickens as a means of generating income and securing a sustainable food supply.

Skills development: In May, moms participated in a session called “Employment Strategies After Childbirth.” They explored their existing skills and identified opportunities to generate income. They shared cooking skills and traditional recipes, enhancing both their culinary knowledge and confidence.

Spiritual nurture: Regular devotion times were held during group meetings and home visits where participants were invited to surrender their lives to Jesus, read the Bible and teach God’s Word to their children. A discussion titled “Life After Death” addressed spiritual death and the hope found in Christ. A Christmas devotion focused on the birth of Jesus.

ReportA message from a pastor

My name is Ramiro, and I am the pastor of El Nazareno Baptist Sanctuary Church, located in Puerto El Flor, Usulután, El Salvador. Our church operates the Child Development Centre ES0893, which has a Survival program. My role in this program is to support the Survival implementer in the spiritual area by teaching the gospel to mothers.

It is my privilege to send you a warm and sincere greeting in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, trusting that Almighty God is blessing your lives. As a pastor and as a team, we are extremely grateful for your gesture of love and kindness expressed through your valuable contribution to the Survival program. Through this program, vulnerable families are being blessed.

Among the most significant results, we have seen mothers gain a better understanding of healthy foods for their babies, improved early childhood stimulation and—most important—the presentation of the gospel in each session. The program has had a great impact on participating families, with mothers and babies receiving medical checkups, medication, mosquito nets to prevent dengue fever, monthly food baskets and water filters to protect against diseases caused by bacteria and parasites in the water. A Bible is given to them to present the gospel so they can read the wonders that our Lord Jesus Christ does.

The next steps that we have as a vision is to make a couples’ retreat so couples can get out of the routine and connect as a family. We also hope to organize a sports festival; first we will start it with the mothers in our program.

In a very special way, we continue to be grateful to God for maintaining in you the vision to support this noble cause that makes a difference to the families involved in our centre. We humbly ask for your prayers that our church maintains its vision of continuing to support the most vulnerable.

ReportA message from those your gift helped

It is a pleasure to greet you, and I hope you and your family are enjoying good health. My name is Karina. I am 27 years old and I am part of the holistic development centre ES0893 in Santa Rosa, Usulután, El Salvador.

I am very happy and grateful to God and to you because through your support, I am able to be part of this wonderful Survival program. I want to share about the very wonderful blessings that God has has given to me, which is my family. My family includes my husband, Sergio, my daughter, Sofia, and my six-month-old beautiful baby boy, Hayden. He has light brown hair, brown eyes and fair skin. Hayden is a very calm baby, smiley and friendly with others.

When Hayden came into our lives, I felt excited and happy to have a little boy and a girl. Holding him for the first time, I thanked God that I had my baby with me and that he was very healthy. When I joined the Survival program, Hayden was four months old. Thanks to your support, we enjoy educational sessions where they show us how we must take care of our babies and they also teach us about the Word of God and His immense love He gives us each day and that He will never forsake us. We also enjoy monthly food packages, medical checkups, medical consultations, toys, a water filter, a mosquito net and a Bible.

Hayden is now able to sit for some moments without falling to the side and is learning to crawl. It is still quite hard because he crawls backwards but he is improving little by little, and I know it will be much faster with the help that they are giving us here.

I am very excited and grateful for your constant support. Without you, this program would not be possible. Many thanks for the love and commitment that you have for this wonderful program. My family and I will pray for your lives, for God to keep you healthy and to bless you greatly. I also ask for your prayers for our health.

I say goodbye with fondness and big hug across the distance!

ReportA message from a partnership facilitator

My name is Alexander, and I am a Partnership Facilitator in the Department of Usulután, in eastern El Salvador. It is a joy to greet you and to wish you God’s blessing in your work, business and family life.
I have the privilege of supporting the development of capacities at Iglesia Bautista Santuario El Nazareno church, which runs the child development centre ES0893 “El Sembrador” (The Sower). Knowing the benefits the Survival program offers to families, I am certain the church is a great source of support for mothers.

Through the program, mothers and their babies have access to medical and prenatal checkups, specialized care when needed, medical treatment, disease prevention, clean drinking water, personal hygiene education, clothing hygiene education, food preparation guidance, nutritious meals, baby care, growth monitoring, vaccinations and education about development and early childhood stimulation for the babies. All this is an enormous blessing in the life of the mother and her baby because, although our public health system offers these services, it is hard for most mothers to travel to health centres to get care because they live too far away or because they do not have resources to travel.

Through the Survival program, the church is developing and reinforcing spiritual development. All mothers in the program receive the Word of God through devotionals, Bible studies, sharing face-to-face and personal visits from implementers who provide individual and marriage advice. Meetings and group activities also include Biblical teachings. Many mothers are encouraged to attend church services or they surrender their hearts to Jesus as their personal Saviour. When babies are born, they are presented before the congregation, which prays for the life of the baby and his family. Often these moments lead entire families to give their lives to Christ. The community can see that the Survival program and the church are a great blessing in transforming lives and changing contextual realities of the community.

Each month, mothers receive a basic food package to support food security and the family economy. Many are also included in income-generating initiatives such as home gardens, raising meat chickens, small business initiatives and participating in workshops at the church like baking and pastry-making.
I ask for your prayers that God would transform the context of poverty to have better quality of life for pregnant mothers and children under one year old. I am deeply grateful for your support, which reduces poverty and lowers maternal and infant mortality. Without your support, some of these children might not even reach the age of 5.

Let us continue to pray for the holistic development of the children, the health and safety of mothers and families and harmony in the community.

I say goodbye with a big hug.

Alexander
