CURRENT SHELTER
SONJA BAUTISTA is a mindful, kind and loving woman who has chosen to dedicate her life to children in need. The shelter has 7 employees who help Sonja on a daily basis, along with various volunteers from the area. Volunteers offer their time each week to ensure the children and women are able to access psychology, educational and health services, alongside general care and entertainment for the children.
EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT
Education is the foundation for life and each child is provided with a school uniform and materials to attend school on a daily basis. The shelter also provides further academic support with additional tutoring, English lessons and homework support.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
The eco-village aims to help and encourage the mothers of these broken families to regain independence, and, in some cases, reunite with their children. We have created a Handcraft Atelier to teach and support the women in how to manufacture and create goods such as bathing suits and handbags made from recycled materials.
