Compassion Survival | Mother and Baby Care
From a mother’s pregnancy through a baby’s first year of life, the Survival program provides essential care that mothers and babies need to survive and thrive.
-
- Basic Needs and Nutrition
-
- Pre and post-natal care
-
- ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT
Through gifts provided by Aventura at Forest Park, women in two communities in El Salvador experience the gospel and learn how to care for their vulnerable babies. Without this support, women would live in isolation and despair, and their babies would be at risk for poor developmental outcomes.
As an Aventura Forest Park resident, you are part of this story, too! Thank you!
