Educating Caregivers working in orphanages

We have successfully completed the first phase of the program and just started the second phase, out of a total of five. The final program completion is scheduled for December. Our big news is that we have expanded the program to a new region, Chiriquí. We are now delivering the program both virtually and in person.

Program: Caregivers' School
Participants: 29
Total Hours: 10 hours

Challenges and Solutions:

• Recruitment Resistance: One of the significant challenges was the resistance from various work institutions towards receiving the training. This resistance was mitigated by establishing strong alliances, which helped in overcoming these obstacles.
• Coordination Issues: The administrative management within new shelters posed difficulties in the smooth delivery of training sessions. Persistent coordination efforts eventually resolved these issues, ensuring the successful execution of the program.

MIDES Approval: A significant milestone was achieved as the Ministry of Social Development (MIDES) accepted our program as a required training for one of the orphanages in Chiriquí.

In summary, the progress of this program is promising, with several companies beginning to implement it as well. By supporting our participants and caregivers, we are not just enhancing their professional skills but also contributing to the welfare of their families. Through this initiative, we are fostering a community that values and supports caregivers, ultimately leading to a better quality of life for everyone involved.

Once again, all of this wouldn’t be possible without you! Thank you for believing in us.
