Maria lives in Tarija, a region located in the extreme south of Bolivia. Growing up in a remote area, her family faces the constant struggle of making ends meet since they lack adequate resources. She is a caring, joyful and playful girl who has much fun playing with dolls and her cats. She spends her days discovering and playing with everything that piques her interest. She lives with her parents and sister in a modest dwelling made of brick and cement. While they have electricity, they lack adequate sanitation services. Her father works as a construction worker, while her mother takes care of the home. The family monthly income comes to around US $ 115.00 per month. This is barely enough money for a family to sustain itself. Through your consistent monthly support, letters and prayers, you will help this child live up to her full potential and make a friend for life.
