Our Locations & Facilities
Our mission is the whole transformation of street children and their families – physical, social, emotional, educational and spiritual. In 2006 we helped 1155 street children. In 2007, by opening Recife we hope to reach 2,000 children. Our plans are to treble our reach by 2010.
