Partner: Hogar Rosa Guzman de Anze Orphanage
Project Began: Dec 2005
Numbers Benefiting: 161 children

The Mary's Meals project in Cochabamba, Bolivia feeds 161 children, and has been running since December 2005. Our friends there run an orphanage for abandoned and disabled children.

They go to great lengths to see them through school, college and university as they are convinced that it is only through educating the poor that a more just society will be created.

As well as the orphanage, they have opened a school for children from the local shanty towns. Because of the chronic poverty education is regarded as a luxury. Many families have to make the choice between food, family and education for their children.

A kitchen was constructed for cooking, and we are now providing Mary's Meals in this school to encourage local families to send their children for an education they would otherwise not receive.
