Papuri Child Development Center

The Papuri Child Development Center is located in Purok Cinco in Quezon City, Philippines. In this area, there are around 4,000 families living in shanties crowded together. 80% of the population are either construction workers, or jeepney and tricycle drivers by trade. Unfortunately, the work is seasonal, and with many of the people unemployed for most of the year, gangs, gambling, drinking, and fighting are big problems. Many of the children are malnourished and have intestinal parasites, skin diseases, and other health problems. The staff at the Papuri Childcare Center are trusting the Lord to help them supply medical care, food, education, clothing, and spiritual training for the children. It is giving hope to the families in Purok Cinco and shining the light of Christ into a dark place.
