Join Liliangelis and her Ecological Brigade!

They've have made a choice to do something about their future and your gift is helping them do it!

Delta Amacuro is one of the most vulnerable regions in Venezuela. It's quite remote and many Indigenous families live here. When disasters like floods or storms strike, children are often the most affected.

This was not a teacher's idea, the children spoke up and said, 'We want to be more involved and equipped to take action in our future!'

Three Ecological Brigades have formed, with an initial 36 students.

The results have been incredible for students and the local partners who've all worked together to bring this opportunity to life for the children.

The climate focussed brigade is taking action through activities such as:

  • Tree planting
  • Clean-up drives
  • Recycling
  • Poster-making to help promote in the community
  • Gardening

These clubs give children the knowledge and tools to care for their environment, prepare for emergencies, and lead their communities toward a more resilient future.

It also gives children the opportunity to be apart of their tomorrow, now.

Education

Eighty per cent of brain development happens in the first three years of a child’s life. World Vision’s Early Childhood Development programmes are unique because we take a holistic approach to education and integrate nutrition, health and economic development work to bolster children’s learning skills.

World Vision’s Early Childhood Development Centre in the Afghani village of Kabarzan is providing opportunities for the community like:

  • Learning to read and write for more than 30 children
  • Developing good health habits to prevent the spread of disease
  • Skill training for mothers, who also learn about women's rights and the detrimental effects of child marriage, which are all too common in the region
