Project Jesus for Children partners with public schools across Latin America to provide educational materials based on the values that Jesus teaches. These materials help children develop character, strengthen families, and build positive life foundations. Through collaboration with educational authorities and local communities, the project has reached millions of students with lessons that promote respect, responsibility, integrity, and hope.
Agreements with Ministries of Education
The agreements with the Ministries of Education provide the official authorization and partnership necessary to distribute materials through public schools, ensuring broad, sustainable, and impactful access to students across each country.
Donation of Vital Values with Jesus
The donation of books ensures that every participating student receives their own educational resource at no cost, making character-based learning accessible regardless of economic circumstances.
Training teachers
Teacher training is essential to ensure that educators understand how to effectively use the project materials, maximizing their impact on students and helping the message and love of Jesus to reach the students.
Volunteer involvement- Driving
Volunteers travel through breathtaking scenery and often over rough, challenging roads to deliver books to schools, making it possible for children in remote communities to receive materials that might otherwise take much longer—or even be impossible—to reach them.
Volunteer involvement-Packing
The careful packing and sorting of books in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Bolivia is a critical step that ensures the correct materials are organized and delivered efficiently to schools, classrooms, and students throughout each country.
Updating and creating material
Developing educational materials founded on the Gospel provides students with values-based lessons that encourage character development, personal responsibility, and a deeper understanding of biblical principles in everyday life.
