Project Description
Man of Peace provides a safe space for the children of Coaque where they can receive the opportunities and tools they need in order to succeed.
The coastal region of Ecuador is known to have some of the highest crime rates and the most underdeveloped education systems in the country, two things that tend to go hand in hand. Man of Peace exists to be a light amid the darkness. We believe that every child in Coaque should know of the God who loves them, be shielded from violence, and have the opportunity to choose a future that looks starkly different from their current reality.
We offer dynamic programs that take into account each child’s situation and in turn, provide them the individualized care they need. At Man of Peace each child receives medical attention, therapeutic help, educational tutoring, spiritual guidance, and nutritional provision among much more. At the end of the day, each Man of Peace student knows they’re part of a greater family — one where they don’t need to fight for what they need or shout to be heard. Our students are seen and cared for just as they are right where they are.
