Seventeenth/eighteenth year
As always, in 2022-2023 our focus remained on helping Bolivian street children to help themselves. During these years we:
- During 2023, financed Phase 1 of the “Positive Discipline Programme” for all Alalay staff (in Santa Cruz and La Paz) – equipping them with the necessary tools to better support our kids – read more about its methodology HERE
- Kept supporting the Alalay Foundation as the staff and children continued to protect themselves and begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic
- Financed our eldest children through their vocational training courses
- Paid the salary of a house mother, so she could continue her vital work bringing up and educating our children
- Funded the production of fresh Christmas panettone (to sell and generate further income) which has been a great success in recent years
Read more in detail about our planned/completed recent projects in our newsletters, found HERE.
Plus we continued to:
- Raise awareness of the plight of the street children in the UK and elsewhere
- Work together with Alalay staff in Bolivia to identify future needs and establish more production projects, with the eventual aim of making Alalay largely financially self-sufficient.
