Love At Work Ministries Inc

IMPROVING THE WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVING IN URBAN SLUMS THROUGH INTEGRATED PROGRAMS IN THE AREAS OF EDUCATION, HOUSING, HEALTH AND NUTRITION, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE COMMITTED TO SERVE AND PARTNER WITH PEOPLE IN NEED, REGARDLESS OF RELIGION, ETHNICITY OR GENDER.

EDUCATION: IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE POVERTY AND HELP CREATE SAFE STREETS, WE'RE WORKING TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION, TECHNICAL TRAINING AND HIGHER-LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. WE PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO CHILDREN OF DIVERSE RACIAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS, PREPARING THEM TO SUCCEED IN A RIGOROUS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WHILE DEMONSTRATING MENTAL, SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL MATURITY.

HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES: WE ADDRESS SUCH CHALLENGES AS PROVIDING SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SUPPORT SERVICES; INCREASING THE SAFETY OF RESIDENTS; IMPROVING PHYSICAL SPACES FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT; ENGAGING RESIDENTS IN COMMUNITY-BUILDING AND PROGRESS; AND CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS.

QUALITY OF LIFE: WE INCREASE ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD, WATER AND HEALTH CARE FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS; PROTECT CHILDREN FROM ABUSE AND NEGLECT; REMOVE BARRIERS TO ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY; EQUIP PEOPLE WITH LIFE SKILLS THAT LEAD TO INCREASED INDEPENDENCE.

OUTREACH: OUR LIFECENTER, CAMPS, RETREATS, YOUTH MEETINGS, TEAMS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUT-OF-SCHOOL AND UNDERSERVED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE "RISKY AREAS." THE LIFE CENTER PROVIDES TUTORING, MEALS, AND ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVING IN THE URBAN SLUMS. THE SCHOOL ALSO IS THE BASE OF OPERATION FOR IGLESIA AMOR EN ACCIÓN (LOVE AT WORK CHURCH).
