The Amazon, Brazil is a beautiful place with rivers and wildlife that many tourists come to see. However, hidden along the riversides is also a dark, harsh reality. The vulnerability of children to child exploitation, abuse, lack of resources & education, and extreme poverty is shocking. For that reason, we are reaching out to some of the darkest places in the Amazon to bring hope and transformation.
We believe in Protecting Children, Strengthening Families & Empowering Communities.
Through education (reading, writing & life skills), raising local leaders, supporting feeding programs, and hosting child exploitation awareness workshops for families, children, and communities.
For the past 3 years, we have been serving with an organization called Life Impact Brasil, pioneering their first Safe Home for children in the interior of the Amazon, and starting a prevention project for 150 children. We now have an amazing team of locals that are running their programs, so we are transitioning to another area in the Amazon to expand our reach and start new programs to reach more children.
The Amazon is currently one of the worst regions in the world for child pregnancy, abuse and sexual exploitation - But we believe this can change!
As a ministry, we are committed to discipling families, teaching and training them, so their mentality can change. We work to see families restored, parents investing in their kids instead of neglecting them, and raising them up to be leaders in their own community.
We have also recently planted a church plant in a riverside town in the Amazon, where families are being discipled and transformed.
Your giving makes a difference in hundreds of families and children in the Amazon! Thank you for helping us reach out to those often neglected, and help restore hope! Abner & Jewell Santos Wild Reach Ministries
