Double Your Impact to Kaya

By Katie Harris | Assistant Director of Development

It is summer in the States, but here in Bolivia it is winter and it is cold. It is a critical time for us to ensure that our programs remain open and the children have a safe and warm place to be throughout these winter months. These next couple of months are particularly challenging for us because this is the season when donations are down. We currently provide for over 75 children in Kaya’s prevention program every Monday through Friday. Each of these children are on the brink of homelessness and depend on the Kaya Center for academic assistance, emotional support, and nutritious meals. Without your financial support, we cannot provide programs like the Kaya Center to provide that safe, nurturing environment that helps keep children off the streets.
 
The commitment of our staff here in Bolivia inspires me daily and their faithfulness to the children and the work we do has become incredibly evident as we navigate through financially challenging times. Our staff has committed to giving one month of their salary as a donation to Kaya, giving what they are referring to as a “mustard seed” in faith, believing that God will multiply the fruit of their sacrifice. We believe that God is providing and are excited to announce the first fruits in the form of a Summer 2014 Matching Challenge. Kaya has a small group of generous donors who have agreed to a matching gift of $25,000. That means that any donation you give to Kaya by August 31st will be doubled, ensuring that all of our Kaya programs here in Bolivia will continue to be sustained during these critical months.
 
Will you join the Bolivia staff and give sacrificially? Please make a donation today and help the children and staff through their winter while we enjoy this summer.
