The families H2H supported during our 2017 Service Trip were living in tin sheet shanties or in cramped quarters with other family members. Through your love and donations we built houses for these families.
We are committed to the children of Sumpango. Our outreach included the HIV+ Children at Hogar Madre Anna Vitello Orphanage as well as the children in the larger Sumpango community.
Most families in Sumpango live:
H2H built three homes for families in the community.
Father: Deceased.
Sylvia shares a space with her 2 sons in her father’s house. The family currently lives in a one room house separated by a bed sheet. The new house is for the two boys. The space will allow privacy between the adults and children.
Father: Edwin Geovanni Chile Jil is 22 years old. He works as a farmer with his father in law.
Father: David Stacul Sequen is a mason. He has had a hard time finding work. He is also having problems with his eye-sight.
H2H built six sets of handmade bunk beds for families in the community during the 2017 trip.
Hogar Madre Anna Vitiello Orphanage was started in 2005 by Catholic nuns to address the care of children infected with HIV/AIDS. While HIV/AIDS is not accepted in the community, the nuns have created an environment of love and support for 50 children ranging in ages from newborns to 12 years old. Every child is provided food, clothing, medical treatment, and education so that their dreams of becoming the next doctor, lawyer, engineer, or teacher becomes a reality.
Busca A Dios Church was started in 2011 by Pastor Manuel and his wife Dorita in response of the Gospel to serve the poor. The church seeks to build community and empower the poor by providing after-school programs, vacation bible school, and the construction of single room homes for families in need. Local children and families can walk up to 20 miles to receive help and support from the Busca A Dios Church.
