Welcome to the ACC sponsorship E-News

In this issue we would like to focus on the orphanage we support in Cochabamba Bolivia  

SALOMÓN KLEIN - COCHABAMBA, BOLIVIA

Salomón Klein is an orphanage situated in Cochabamba, in the heart of Bolivia. It is home to 150 babies and small children, abandoned and at risk, many of whom have special needs. Salomon Klein is a not for profit organisation that provides shelter, care and a safe environment to children and women who live on the streets in Cochabamba.

During the recent global financial crisis, much of the aid that was being delivered to orphanages in developing nations was withdrawn by the World Bank. 
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America with two thirds of the population living in poverty.  Women and children are the most vulnerable groups in society which is reflected by the number of infants and children that are abandoned each year and require shelter and care in homes such as Salomón Klein.  

Salomón Klein is in desperate need of funding to provide the children with improved health care, nutrition, access to education, and emotional support. They are working hard so they do not have to turn the home back to the State. Your sponsorship ensures that the children's fundamental needs can be met; allowing staff and volunteers more time to focus on their developmental and emotional needs.  As a sponsor you will receive photos, profiles and regular updates on the progress of some of the children at Salomón Klein.    

Additional sponsors are always needed. Please spread the word and encourage family and friends to sponsors a child at this  home. Click here to download a sponsorhsip form.
