This is Mateo. He is a joyful, caring and playful boy. He lives in the city of Oruro, a city located at 3,700 meters above sea level. He enjoys playing with rattes. With limited resources and toys, he finds joy in simple activities that capture his curiosity and imagination. He lives with his parents in a rudimentary dwelling. His father works as a driver, while his mother runs the home. The family income is around US $ 175.00 per month. His parents work hard to make ends meet, but reaching the end of the month is a constant struggle. Most residents in his area live in houses of adobe or brick with thatched or sheet metal roofs and brick, cement or dirt floors. Some homes have running water, while other families collect water at public standpipes. Your sponsorship will give this child a healthy start in life and will support him as he learns and grows.
