Current Needs
Greenhouse
A greenhouse will help to sustain a garden during the rainy season. The rainy season in Bolivia lasts from December to February which means rain almost every day. During this time, prices for food go through the roof making it harder to get adequate supplies. This will help ensure an ongoing supply of vegetables for the campus and will be a means to start a small business of selling vegetables in town.
Renovation & Reconstruction of Houses
With sixty kids and counting and fifteen staff, considering housing is a huge priority. We currently have 5 houses, three of which desperately need renovations and two of which need to be reconstructed to house our growing numbers. We estimate the construction each new house will cost $25,000 and estimate that including construction and renovation $100,000 will be needed to complete this project. With your help we can provide housing that will improve the lives of our kids here at Familia Feliz, thank you so much for your interest and support!
Construction of School and Addition of Assembly Area
The existing school buildings at Familia Feliz which do not house nearly enough students nor provide adequate bathroom facilities nor supervise-able recreation areas. Our goal is to build a brand new school building that contains all grades and surrounds a central covered courtyard that will function as a recreation and assembly area. The cost estimate for this project is $25,000. We value the education of our kids and we thank you so much for your support!
