Circumstances are changing ...our new challange is the increasing number of girls that is living without their parents. More and more people are leaving Nicaragua for various reasons and leave their families behind. The economical situation is extremely difficult.....What used to be an exception is now very common: parents leave their homes and their children behind.... their children stay on their own. 'Our' girls often not only have to look after themselves but also after their small brothers and sisters, after their homes and many of them spend their life on the street. Certainly this has an impact on our project. We continue to offer support for those visiting our house and they receive food, psychological support, help with homework, can take part in different activities ...but less and less girls manage to attend, therefore we visit them at home, work on the streets and they know that they can come back any time, ask for support, emotional and also very practical help if necessary with food, school utensils and whatever needed.
Our project continues with a new emphasis , more important than ever.
