Our team in Escuintla served over 350 people, supporting more than 100 families over a years time. This involved consistent visits from social workers, psychological support, and participation in our parent's school program. We equip parents to better care for their children and help them navigate the legal system so their child receives justice. We’re dedicated to pursuing justice for children who have experienced sexual violence, including representing them in court against their abusers.
Alejandra* is a 9 year old girl in our Orchard Children’s Home. Once burdened by sadness and loneliness, she’s found new joy and strength through her faith in Jesus and daily Bible readings. Now, even when challenges arise, Alejandra turns to the scriptures, finding comfort in God’s promises. KAI accompanies vulnerable children toward justice and healing through the comprehensive support provided by our programs.
We celebrated Haitian Flag Day! Students and staff wore blue and red to represent their flag. We enjoyed a parade, dancing, poems, and inspiring speeches. Building communities means building self-respect and honoring traditions that create healthy bonds. This is especially important in communities of high needs and trauma to encourage empowerment and service.
We celebrated graduations across our seven schools in the Dominican Republic, recognizing these milestones of education and personal growth. Our schools, situated in challenging areas, are beacons of hope, with graduates being more likely to finish high school and remain active in church communities. The cost of our life-changing, holistic care is roughly only 10% of the cost of a public-school education in the United States.
KAK hosted a caregiver capacity-building forum at the Nairobi Hope Center. We addressed trauma issues for both caregivers and their children, identified by our KAK social workers. Our team facilitated the session and provided food baskets to support the families. Kids Alive’s trauma-informed staff demystified unhealthy practices and strengthened parenting abilities.
The Kids Alive Lebanon boys soccer team won their entire tournament! We share in the joy of these young champions whose dedication and teamwork paid off. This is a testament to the positive impact of Kids Alive Programs, and we couldn’t do it without your support.
As Kids Alive Academy Director in Zambia, Matengu is committed to creating safe, supportive classrooms, transforming the lives of children who have faced trauma and challenges at home.
