Paraguay’s Children of Promise
For people living in rural Paraguay, life is hard. Sometimes, so little money can be made from farming that they desperately uproot their families and move to the capitol city, Asunción, in hopes of finding work. Often, what they find is unfamiliar faces, more hardship, little work, and tension-filled streets. It’s tough to keep living right if you struggle to have enough to eat, especially when you know your children are hungry. Culture steeped in Roman Catholic traditions and a history of lack of justice for powerful mafia-style lawbreakers leads to suspicion of anyone with claims to do good. Reforms are being made by the government, but change comes slowly to common life. GAiN is demonstrating God’s love in Paraguay through delivering containers of much needed food, clothing, and other items which are distributed to needy families via our in-country partners. Please read further to discover their needs.
