Argentina: soup kitchen for kids – Apr 2022

Yuto is a small village of 6300 inhabitants.

It is a very poor town with an 80% indigenous population.

Most families here are very poor, so much so that the fathers of families stay away for 4-5 months to work in other towns. The church had started building a facility in 2001, which was to serve as a food outlet for the poorest and neediest families. Due to lack of money, the facility was not completed. Drug addicts took over the facility, using it for years as a meeting place for drug addicts.

Thanks to the financial participation of Ein Herz für Kinder, we managed in a few months to renovate the entire building, consisting of a dining room, at the same time used as a study room, a kitchen, bathrooms with showers and a small garden. Every day the most needy families come here to bring their children for a hot meal. Barred windows and doors keep out thieves and drug addicts. The mothers are proud to have a welcoming place, they come to cook for all the children, and some volunteers give tutoring to children with difficulties in the schools. Among the women A sense of defense of this place so important to the children has been created.
