A Healthy Lunch Every Day

Silviana is 10 years old, and she is in 7th grade at the “Manuel de Jesus Calle” school in the south part of Quito which is one of the poorest parts of the city.  Her mom sells socks and underwear in nearby Camal market, while her dad is a maintenance man who cleans and sweeps the market every day.  Together they piece together the equivalent of a minimum wage salary  of about $320 a month.

Silvia helps at her mom’s stand on the weekends, and dreams of being a beautician when she grows up.  After school she attends CENIT for lunch and homework help.  Thanks to your generosity Mark and Lisbet, she is assured a month of healthy lunches at CENIT.
