Project Destiny Kids
DESCRIPTION:
Project Destiny Kids (PDK) is a nonprofit organization reaching out the needs of street children in Butuan City in the Philippines. PDK consists of weekly outreaches to street children in the streets and a rehabilitation home called The Shelter. Their desire is to reach out to hurting, neglected, abused, addicted children and allow them to experience the love of Christ through their hands and feet.
Through mentoring and example, staff and volunteers provide children with positive role models and encourage children to make good choices, which prepares them for the future. They identify medical needs of the children as well, so that they can be seen by a volunteer nurse and dentist for treatment. Children in stressful or traumatic situations are identified and these children are helped in appropriate ways.
PLEASE PRAY FOR:
- For staff and volunteers as they mentor and care for these children
- For the children in their care to find hope and healing, and ultimately come to know the true Healer
- For the root inequalities that drive children to living on the streets to be eradicated
