Lia lives in a two-bedroom apartment with her mother and younger brother, Lian, who is also in the program. They have electricity and running untreated water which they boil to drink. They cook with propane and electricity. The lighting in the home is good and the children do their homework at the dining room table. Lia shares a bedroom with her brother.
Lia’s father moved to Havana for better job opportunties and her mother is now essentially the sole provider, working at a daycare center, with minimal financial support from her father. The family usually has two meals a day.
You can help the girls at Quinta Anfuso, and hundreds of other children like them, through our Join The Village opportunity.

You’ll receive a sponsor kit which includes your child’s profile and photo. You’ll also receive quarterly updates on your impact and letters from your child!
You can build a relationship with your child by sending photos, emails, letters and cards. You can even visit your child if you go on a short-term mission trip with a group!
