The Problem

Children around the world are growing up without safety, care, or hope.

Every day, children in impoverished communities around the world face the realities of hunger, unsafe water, neglect, abuse, and a lack of spiritual care.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

The Solution

A holistic, evidence-based approach to helping children thrive

Trauma and chronic poverty affect every part of a child’s life—physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual. Which means the solution requires a holistic approach.

With nearly two decades of on-the-ground experience in Ecuador, and a proven, trauma-informed model developed alongside academic partners, Project M:25 is helping children heal, grow, and thrive.

Mini Documentary

In a remote community in Ecuador’s jungle, an outbreak linked to unsafe water took the lives of many children. We partnered with local leaders and Yumi, who grew up in this tribe and is now preparing for ministry, to bring in-home water filters and training. This is a story of a village’s courage, Yumi’s calling, and a community of donors standing together so children can live, learn, and thrive.
