2022 has been a milestone year for Misión de Caridad. From launching our life-changing education and work programs to moving in to our very own facility, Casa Esperanza, it’s been a year of ground-breaking impact.
Part of our education goals is learning to work in teams and speak in front of a large group. We are so proud of our students for presenting to an audience of over 100 people on the life stages of the butterfly. While challenging, the children in our education program not only learn about the subject matter, but also important skills such as public speaking and teamwork.
At the end of every semester we have a celebration to mark the students’ accomplishments. Parents participated with our staff to organize games and engaging activities. Any activity involving water is very welcome during the hot summer months and the students (and staff) got soaking wet at this event!

This year’s Christmas picture shows many more smiles as families are much more comfortable and confident that MdC is helping them to improve their situations.
Most families don’t have a kitchen table or space at home to play games, so they are very eager to participate in both our table and team games. Eleven months since our Saturday program began, families have built relationships with one another. They are now laughing, joking and eager to interact.
Anette, a teen mom, greets Jean with a hug. In August, the MdC team began to once again regularly visit the homes of women in our program to better understand their needs and build deeper relationships. We are always greeted warmly and invited into the homes of the women.

We hope you enjoy the pictures that tell the story of 2021. Our work is a process that is designed to move those we serve towards financial independence while improving their physical, spiritual, emotional and educational health. It does not happen overnight, but every program is a step on that journey. Thank you for partnering with us.
