Project Garça
Day care center with after school care
“Dona Maria Leonor” in Garça/São Paulo
The Dona Maria Leonor daycare center, founded in 1949, cares for approximately 200 children between the ages of 2 and 15. Children come to the facility from surrounding neighborhoods for child and youth care. Some families are so large that the parents’ earnings are not enough to support the family. Therefore, the children also receive different meals: Breakfast, lunch, a snack in the afternoon and dinner.
School children are cared for in an after-school care center. Children who are kept busy by homework supervision and other meaningful recreational activities are less likely to go astray.
In the teaching garden, the children plant lettuce and other vegetables. Parents are also invited to learn and receive lectures on how to prepare healthy food for their children. In addition, Sisters visit families where there are difficulties at home to provide assistance to improve living conditions.
With donations we support the maintenance of the facility.
Uncovered costs amount to approximately €1000 per month.
These are costs
► for school supplies,
► food,
► gifts for celebrations,
► transportation costs,
► repairs and new acquisitions.
