We fight for family

We believe the best option for long-term care of any child is within a thriving, healthy family. We celebrate the reunification of children with their biological families. We advocate for adoption or foster care if needed. Although we provide exceptional,  family-style after school care in a safe, nurturing environment, we view our home as the best, last resort for special needs children in crisis. Our ministry allows single parents to hold steady jobs by providing the needed care, protection and love after school to prevent child abandonment.

We are not the authority

The children we love are under the jurisdiction of Peru’s government much like the United States Child Social Services. We do not “take in” children. Children are placed by local police/government agencies and churches. With a position of humility, we are providing resources, systems, and compassion to help provide the very best residential care options for its most vulnerable children.  

Simply Care

We provide comprehensive care by partnering with a team of experts and passionate support staff to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual and educational needs of every boy and girl. Our team of caregivers and the standard of excellence we strive for is affectionately known as our Live Simply Forever Family. Every child is taught, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ’s family.

Simply Values  

Live Simply is committed to encourage and equip our community to embrace the Christian Church with ongoing teaching, intentional activities, and by celebrating exceptional behavior.

Empowering Moms
to rise above poverty

This program was geared to single Mom families and children who live in extreme poverty. Every child in the project lives in very challenging situations. We fed these kids lunch, have Bible time devotion, we do arts and craft but we also do very basic “need things” such as hair washing, teeth brushing, hand washing, shoe shining, we provide haircuts and school supplies. We simply share the LOVE of family and purpose.   

For many of our children, this will be the only warm meal of the day. On empty stomachs, kids don’t have the energy to focus, engage, learn and grow. Children struggling with hunger may be more likely to repeat a grade in elementary school, experience developmental impairments in language/motor skills and have more social and behavioral problems.

Our Single
Moms' Reality

Many Mom’s work in the fields 10 hours a day 6 days a week earning less than $2 per day. We were providing this for the severely distressed/poor kids in the Live Simply community. This project is seeking ways to prevent child abandonment allowing fully fed kids both spiritually and physically to return home with homework done causing no burden to the family allowing to keep kids at home rather than the streets at night.

Just the Facts

Chronic child malnutrition affects 35 percent of children. Anemia affects over 46 percent of children under the age of three. Insufficient access to food, poor consumption patterns, inadequate childcare, poor nutrition practices and low educational levels are the main drivers of chronic child malnutrition and anemia in Peru.
