About Us
La Aljaba Foundation
La Aljaba Foundation is a comprehensive care program for children in extreme poverty or need in the Amazon. La Aljaba is a home for the children of the region, it is a place where they have the opportunity to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, so that they can have the life that Jesus wants for them. We believe that God's love can change the live of each child who is part of our program, here they learn to develop a life project that gives them hope and breaks cycles of poverty and violence.
History
This program was created in 2003 by God's call to Reverend Ray Wilson, founded and directed by Sister Lucy Palma. In its beginnings the foundation began with a total of 8 children, by the year 2005 the program had 62 children. After 10 years we received a donation for the purchase of the lot of our new headquarters, this was a new beginning for us. In 2016, this place was inaugurated with the help of the Ancla Foundation, Pastors, friends of the city and parents. We currently serve 92 children and adolescents, 17 of whom live in our institution.
What do the children receive?
When entering the first thing they receive is a lot of love and respect from the entire work team, knowing the context from which the children come, this being mostly violence, abuse, abandonment, mistreatment and need, here we show them the love of God in a tangible way.
