Who We Are |
We provide for children from 5 to 17 years of age in situations of extreme poverty or need. We offer assistance in four development areas: physical, cognitive, spiritual and emotional well-being. Currently we provide a full day care, tutoring, daily nutritional meals for 88 children and provide 24 hour care for 26 children. We also extend our reach to the community by providing family counseling and parenting classes monthly, sending daily food rations to 100 children who live in extreme poverty on the edge of the jungle, and helping other children’s ministries 50 miles up and down the Amazon River. La Aljaba is able to continually move forward financially because of the help of our partner ministry, Orphanos. Orphanos is based in Memphis, Tennessee and helps raise awareness and financial needs to keep our ministry up and running. La Aljaba is led by Lucy Palma, an Orphanos missionary for over 10 years now.
